      ‘No can do. Ruby’s asleep and I’m not waking her up. She’s sleeping for three.’

      ‘What?’

      ‘Twins.’

      ‘God help us.’

      ‘Your congratulations are most heartily accepted.’

      ‘Congratulations,’ Trig said quickly. ‘I mean...yeah. Congratulations. Twice.’

      Did it make him a bad person that his first thought was not for Ruby and Damon’s happiness but that he was never going to have that? That Lena was never going to know babies the way Ruby would know them. ‘Is everything okay? With Ruby and the babies?’

      ‘Everything’s good. There’s no real reason Ruby can’t travel. I’m just...’

      ‘I get it.’ He got it.

      ‘Lena can come to Hong Kong. You can both come, and we’ll do the not-exactly-married debrief here.’

      ‘Sold.’ What else could he say? The only reason he’d chosen Damon’s beach house as the debrief venue in the first place was because Lena had spent so much time there and the surroundings would be familiar. They could work around that. Lena’s father lived in Hong Kong. He had a penthouse there. Maybe that would count as home ground too.

      ‘Better get you that information,’ Damon said. ‘Stay safe.’ And then he was gone.

      Trig scrolled through the pictures he’d taken of the castle and picked one that he’d taken from the wharf. He sent it to Jared’s number. He didn’t add words, but he thought them.

      We’re here, man. And if we can’t get to you you’re going to have to come to us.

      If you can.
