They were finally away from two people she couldn't stand. Nox wasn't so bad but he was Atharim and annoying git who thought he was all that. Ayden did not like egotistical people, they were usually her marks and thought too high of themselves. Enough so that, someone wanted them dead. Such had been her life.
Now she was nothing, walking side by side with the man she loved. She was hungry now that she thought about it. Ayden was still upset, she tried not to think about all the things that had happened today. She should have just stayed put when Connor called that second time. Things would be so much better now.
They found a coffee shop, it was just outside the Enlightened District - a place Ayden had no real need to browse through. But it was historical and it was one street she knew that lead to the Kremlin and to the Red Square. She'd done her research before coming here. She had never expected to call Moscow home. It made her wonder if maybe she needed to leave now - assassin or not, the Atharim were here, and she needed to shake them from her trail.
They found a seat and a waitress came over and asked them what they'd like. Ayden ordered a black coffee and one of their fancy sandwich sampler plates. She hadn't paid much attention to what was on it, it didn't matter, it was food and she was starting to feel the hunger pains.
Ayden looked across the table at Connor and smiled after the waitress had left them to themselves. She did love the man. He was good for her even if she felt a deep sense of longing that wasn't connected to him. He had that longing too - for his son and Ayden had a feeling Nox was just a surrogate for that longing. She didn't want to start a fight but she had to know... "I know you miss your son. And feel guilty for not helping him. But does he need to help you fill that void in your life? He's Atharim. He wants me dead."
