  Summary

  Back home in Paris, their names cleared and their family intact, Ziva is trying to settle into a quieter life—keeping a careful grip on the parts of herself that could fracture the routine she’s trying to build. Tony stays close, closer than he has in years, watching for cracks, tracking risks by instinct. Between them settles a fragile equilibrium of care and habit, shaped by good intentions and old scars. Until the ground shifts just enough for something to start giving.
