“It’s exactly the time.”

Wynn looked between us.

“I don’t need both of you.”

I stared at her.

“Choose your next words carefully.”

She almost smiled.

Then she touched my chest.

“You need to secure the primary chamber. Adam will be beside me.”

“I need to secure you.”

“Elise and Camille are behind a locked barrier. Adam and two members of Roth’s team will be with me.”

“He’s very bossy.”

Adam raised one eyebrow.

“He’ll fit right in.”

I didn’t want to leave her.

Every instinct warned me not to.

But we had come to stop Fate.

If Minser’s operative escaped, he would come after the wafer I carried.

Not Wynn.

I touched her cheek.

“Stay with Adam.”

“I will.”

“Do exactly what he says.”

She smiled faintly.

“Don’t ruin the moment.”

I kissed her forehead.

Then her mouth.

Quick.

Firm.

A promise.
