apartment before going on to Saoirse’s.  Aris clutched her shoulders.  “You don’t have to pack anything.  Everything you need is already waiting for you.”
    “And I suppose it’s all in emerald green?” she was looking at the steps of her apartment rather than face Aris.
    Aris laughed at her, “No, my love.  It’s not all in emerald green.” 
    He pulled her to him, kissing her cheek as he let go of her.  It wasn’t what he wanted to be doing with her at the moment, but he wasn’t going to push his luck.  “I will be here at six.”
    “Fine.” she stalked up the stairs to her apartment.
    Saoirse slammed her apartment door behind her.  All she could think about were the Feds waiting for her on the tarmac when she got back.  Her career would be destroyed.  On the other hand, if they didn’t know, he promised she’d never see him again.  Her life might just go back to the way it was.   ‘ Which is what?’ her little voice nagged.  Doing the dirty work for a firm that wouldn’t ever make her a partner, even a junior one.  Reading contracts to make sure her clients got every last thin penny out of the deal with enough vague areas they could come back for more in the future.  If he told her the truth, that he wasn’t a terrorist, who was the monster now?
    She changed into comfortable clothes before she slammed drawers and closet doors for the better part of the night.  By 4:30, the only thing in her suitcase was her panties and a couple of bras.  Gathering up the items strewn all over the bedroom, she pushed them into the case.  She showered quickly not bothering to dry her hair.  He said they could sleep on the plane, she was going to. 
    As she presumed, the limo arrived at precisely six.  She handed her suitcase to him as she got in the limo.  Aris could see she hadn’t slept yet but said nothing to goad or challenge her this morning.  Denise was already in the limo waiting.
    “Seers, you didn’t sleep at all!”  Denise was dressed for vacation in a t-shirt and shorts with tennis shoes. 
    She rolled her eyes.  “Morning, Nise.  Hello, Noah.” her tone on Noah’s name was not exactly friendly. 
    She plopped down in the seat as Aris took his.  By 7:30 they were in the air.

    The jet had all the comforts of an expensive apartment including a couch and oversized chairs.  Umpteen hours in flight might not be so obnoxious after all.  Once they were airborne, Denise suggested Saoirse sleep, which was what she had intended to do anyway.  Aris offered her his hand.  She ignored it standing up on her own.  He lead her toward the back of the cabin into a bedroom complete with full sized bed and shower.  She sat down on the bed.  Aris reached over her pulling the shades on the portal windows. 
    “There are night gowns in the bottom drawer on the far left, if you want one.” he shut the door behind him.
    She stripped down to her t-shirt and panties before crawling between the sheets.  The blankets were heavy and the pillows were thick.  The white noise of the engines masked any sounds from the other compartment.  She was out within minutes.  At some point during her sleep she thought she heard someone come in.  A warm hand, she supposed Aris’s, pulled the blankets up over her shoulder before leaving again.  She woke several hours later having slept fairly well but her mood was no better.  Aris opened the door looking in at her.
    “Hungry?”
    She shook her head before rolling away from him.  She slept for a few more hours before she rolled out of the bed throwing her clothes on. 
    The outer cabin was awash in the bright light of the sun through the portal windows.  She squinted wondering if her mood was going to crash again. 
    “Hey Seers!”  Denise was sitting at one of the tables playing some sort of game with Noah that she had never seen before.
    “Hey.” she plopped down in one of the chairs. 
    “You hungry?  Noah made this turkey and
