    Summary

    “Who are you?”

    Loid met her gaze. Yor wondered what her face was doing, that he was taking so long to answer. “To you, I am Loid Forger.” Why did that hurt more than if he’d struck her? “And to Anya,” he said, some gentleness finally coming into his voice, “I am Loid Forger. Her father. And you are her mother.” Yor stared at him, now certain her devastation was plain on her face.

     

    When Yor learns of a plot to kidnap Anya, she returns home to find Loid handling a gun with expert skill, and Anya already taken. After that earth shattering day, in rallying around Anya, Yor and Twilight face a time of uncertainty where choices are made, long-kept secrets are shared, and precarious trust becomes unassailable intimacy.

    Summary

    “What’re you saying, Handler?”

    “What I’m saying is, I need a favor from you. I need you to protect this girl while we put an end to this.”

    “I’m retired—by your orders, Handler—I don’t do missions anymore.”

    “I know, but you’re still the best agent we ever had. You’re the only one I trust to keep her safe.”

    “I’m an unemployed bachelor living alone out in the middle of nowhere. That’s hardly a good environment for a kid.”

    “It won’t be that long, just a few months at most. You don’t need to raise her, for crying out loud, just make sure she stays alive and well. We’ll compensate you and everything,” the Handler says.

    “What if I say no?”

    A futile question.

    “Ultimately, I can’t force you to do anything anymore,” she says, “But the poor kid has been through so much. I’m asking you as a friend to protect this little girl.”

    She sucks in a breath and holds it, as if debating to say what’s on her mind.

    “You fought so children could have a safe world to grow up in, right?” Her voice is gentle and sincere. “Please, Twilight, she needs that world more than ever.”
