I'm a political aide with a dead boss's murder files and he's a former NFL star who just went live on national television to make sure no one can quietly disappear me. This is not how I expected to survive.
Charity: My boss is dead and I have proof. The kind of proof that gets people disappeared.
Antoine: I see her in the hotel lobby looking like she's calculating exit routes. I've done that exact calculation. Stadium crowds, hostile press. I know what threat assessment looks like on a face.
Charity: He pulls me into a stairwell and says, very calmly, that he has a safe house ready and a private jet and he would very much like me to not die tonight.
Antoine: She says she doesn't need saving. She's already saved herself three times tonight. But she lets me drive.
Charity: Forced proximity in a safe house with a man who smells like cedar and ambition is not ideal for keeping my head straight.
Antoine: She reads the files out loud to me and I watch her carry the weight of the entire political system on those elegant shoulders.
Charity: He cups my face like I'm something worth protecting and everything I've been holding together starts to crack.
Antoine: She's the bravest person I've ever met. And I've met a lot of people.
