Chapter 230

THE RELIEF AT LEAVING IGNATIUS behind, and the sane answer provided by Kassie, felt fantastic. I rolled my eyes when Kassie shot me a conniving look and elbowed me in the ribs.

'You just love a guy in uniform.'

'Shut-up,' I hissed, flushing while she took obvious delight in my discomfort. 'You said it wasn't my fault.'

'Doesn't stop it being funny.'

'So, Cat. How you doing?' Sian gave me her best cheesy smile and Kassie doubled in laughter, hands pressed to her mouth to keep quiet.

Moving around us, checking the perimeter and getting our position, the men kept casting confused, curious looks our way. Sian threw an arm around my waist.

'Least you know how to lighten the mood.'

I tipped my head back, lips trembling with the effort to stop a smile and gave a long-suffering sigh.
