“Wedid it, babe. Our whole team. You, me, Doc, Sierra?—"
“Me,” Sebastian said as he strode into the room, his phone in hand.
“Right,” Alex said with a slight frown. “You.”
Sebastian collapsed into an armchair. “We did good work. But there’s a long road still ahead.”
“And we’re ready,” Ava said with a nod. “We took down PharmaTech, and my guess is once law enforcement digs into their files, they’re going to find way more projects designed to hurt people like Neuroprisol-X.”
“No doubt, but that only breaks one part of The Board. We still have a lot more to go,” Sebastian said.
“Well, thanks a lot for that, Mood Killer. Ava and I were just enjoying a quiet moment together that you have now ruined.”
Sebastian shrugged. “Well, I wouldn’t get used to those quiet moments, because there aren’t going to be many of them coming up until we finish this.”
Ava threaded her fingers through Alex’s. “It doesn’t matter. We’re ready. We’re going to face this together.”
“That’s cute. But they’re going to do everything they can to rip you apart. I’m just warning you.”
Ava tightened her fingers on Alex’s hand, but her stomach twisted into a tight knot. They’d already been through so much. Could they make it through this without being ripped away from one another?
She glanced at her husband. He offered her a reassuring smile. “Together, Avs.”
“Together, Ace,” she answered. “We’ll weather this together.”
Her eyes fell on the painting of the two ships weathering the storm together. It was a metaphor for their lives. But they’d come through it…together.
