“You’re going to leave your fake girlfriend eating breakfast alone?” Emma teased. “Whatever will that sweet little couple think?”

“Yep. If anyone asks, just make up an excuse. Nature called.”

“How lovely,” she said sarcastically.

“Yes, you are,” he agreed. “Tell them I’m calling my CO if you want—I already explained to them last night that I’m U.S. military. And that I whisked my lovely girlfriend away for a few days at a bed and breakfast.”

“Hmmph. At least you still have contact with the outside world. You destroyed my phone if you recall.”

“Just the SIM card—and believe me, neither of us wants to be tracked here. My connections are secure. It’s safe for me to use my electronics. I’m afraid we can’t take any chances with yours though.”

“All right. Go off and save the world or do whatever it is you need to do.”

“No saving the world. I’m stuck here with you, remember?”

“Right. Well, I’ll see you later,” she said, turning back to her breakfast.
