Hudson hung up the phone. All the blood drained from his head and extremities, reuniting in his chest simply to keep his heart beating.

He dialed Max, who picked up immediately. “Mr. Chase.”

“Notify the pilot I’ll be flying out of Paris instead of London.”

“Yes, sir. When would you like to depart?”

“I’m not sure yet. Have him on standby. And I need you to run the usual on a Bernadette Beauchene.”

“Yes, sir. Anything else?”

“No, but I need that information ASAP. Two hours.”

“I’ll have it in one.”

“Remind me to give you a raise when we get back.”

“Yes, sir. Thank you, sir.”

Hudson ended the call but kept the phone gripped tight in his hand. The conductor yelled the equivalent of all aboard and the last of the stragglers rushed past him as they clamored to get on the train.

Fuck. She was leaving him.

As the train pulled away from the station, Hudson felt like he was living in the split second before a car crash, with time grinding slowly to a halt.
