Summary
“Pack?” said Charles, trailing along behind him as Mr. Payne went charging into his own bedroom and threw open the wardrobe. He hadn’t even known that Mr. Payne owned such a thing as a suitcase. “Where are we going?”
Mr. Payne emerged with an armful of clothes—expensive, quietly lovely things in slate grey and brilliant white and fathomless midnight blue and that deep, impossible black—and deposited them in a heap on the bed. When he turned to look at Charles again, there was a feverish light in his eyes. “Dover,” he said.
“Lovely.” Charles wasn’t sure anyone had ever been in such a hurry to get to Dover before, but perhaps a few days away from the city would be just the ticket for Mr. Payne. Poor bloke was wound so tight something was bound to go sproing sooner or later. “Nice little jaunt to the seaside, is it?”
“And then to Paris,” Mr. Payne went on. “Then to Brindisi via Turin… Suez… Bombay… Calcutta… Hong Kong to Yokohama, San Francisco, New York. Oh! And then back home, of course. We shall return by precisely one o’clock in eighty days’ time.”
“Right,” Charles said faintly. “Well. Better get packing, then, hadn’t I?”

Summary
Charles looks him dead on, deep brown eyes shining. The mid-morning sun accents the striking features of his annoyingly perfect face, and Edwin digs his heels in. The anger over the whole situation outweighs the niggling desire to point-blank stare at Charles’ six-foot-one frame, all bed-head and boxer shorts, but only just.
At the end of the day, Edwin is, by every definition of the word, a professional.

Meanwhile, Charles is trying to sort out his tangled feelings and Crystal is attempting to get her life back on track...
