Chapter 28 MOSCOW

Wringing out every second they had left together in the quiet mountains of Romania, Tessa and Rafik did everything but sleep in the bed that Teddy offered to give up last night.

In this morning’s light, Rafik caressed Tessa’s belly as he watched her catch the last few minutes of rest before they left for their next destination.

Leaning into her neck, he breathed in a nose full of his favorite childhood memory and placed a soft kiss near her ear. As his musical voice vibrated through it, he remorsefully woke her from her much-needed sleep. “I’m sorry, Tessa, but Teddy is already awake. We should get ready to leave.”

“No!” Her gritty morning voice whined like a spoiled child as she wrapped her arms around him and pulled him closer. “Please, love me a few more minutes before we go.”
