The cold had begun to settle in. Soft flurries had descended, lit by the lights, as they started to blanket the ground in a white layer.
Alistair had been standing alone by the door, enveloped in darkness. His black wool collar turned up, had served as a shield for his neck against the cold, collecting delicate snowflakes.
He had waited outside of the hotel, weary of the night's pretense. With his handler gone and the official mission completed, Alistair faced his own unresolved task. His inner satisfaction hinged on touching her again with a fervent intensity. Despite the chill, sweat had dripped down his brow from the anticipated heat between them.
As he waited, a sudden move saw him seize an arm, pulling her sharply into the shadows. "Come with me," he had spoken. The only sounds then were a pleasantly surprised gasp and the click of heels changing direction, tapping against the concrete as they both disappeared into the darkness.
