    Summary

    "Did something happen that makes you curious?” Nicky asks.

    “Nothing new. She’s one of us, right? Andy said she lost a soldier, and I should know who’s on my team. Even if they’re MIA. Besides, I thought…it would remind me she’s a person and not the, the monster under my bed.”

    “And you think this would help?”

    “Yeah, I do.”

    “I won’t tell you not to try. But I think you already suffer with her, and it will not help you to mourn for her as well.”

    Or: Nile is adjusting to her new life, and she has questions. Nicky and Joe try to answer the ones she asks as well as the ones she doesn't.

    Summary

    “Jonathan,” says Evy, walking straight into his living room without so much as a hello and standing directly in front of him. Her voice is saccharine, so sugary that it puts Jonathan’s teeth on edge. “Did you happen to become a bestselling author while Rick and I were in Luxor over summer?”

    Jonathan clears his throat, sinks a little lower in his armchair, and lifts yesterday’s edition of The Egyptian Gazette higher, obscuring the blush he knows he can’t control.

    “I have no idea how I’m supposed to answer that, dear sister,” he replies, “seeing as I have absolutely no idea what the current bestselling novels are.”

    When Jonathan writes an adventure—definitely not a romance, thank you—novel based on the whole Imhotep debacle, he doesn't expect it to become the bestselling pulp sensation of the decade. With hindsight, perhaps he should have made some of the real life parallels less obvious, especially when it comes to the dashing romantic lead, Abir Rey.

    Thankfully, there are no bookshops in the desert, so the chances of Ardeth reading it are blessedly slim.

    Probably.
