    Summary

    When I was about twenty feet away she bid the man a quick goodbye and met me in the middle, snagging two canapés off a passing waiter’s tray. She offered one to me, and I took it gingerly, but didn’t bite in. I’ve seen too many people go out frothing out the mouth from cyanide to trust any food that wasn’t made by my own two hands. My fingers brushed against her palm, and a tingle ran up my arm like I had been shocked with a live wire.

    Lovelace presented me with her other hand, and I shook. Her hand was warm but not sweaty, her skin soft. “Captain Isabel Lovelace, and you are?”

    “Renee Minkowski. Pleased to meet you.”
