AN: You remember Roland, right?
**********************************************************************************
After his words to Eva in the Oval Office, obviously, Eva wasn't speaking to him, but she made her
wrath felt. Eva didn't do something as mundane as go kill Veronica but she did something way
worse in Noah's eyes – she gave him the 'look, don't touch' torture. Then she messed with his
schedule, his meals, and his wardrobe. Eva laid out his suits for everything, so when he turned
up dressed in a polo tee and khakis for a university talk, he knew she was messing with him.
At least she didn't attend the lunch with Veronica, but Noah had a feeling she would know
everything that went down. Veronica showed up, but she wasn't alone.
"Roland!" Noah exclaimed automatically, forgetting himself then as he remembered his eyes
widened.
"Don't worry" Roland assured as he hugged him. "You can say my name. I don't work for them
anymore or for you, for that matter."
"He's Interpol now," Veronica informed him.
"Wow!" Noah said as he sat down, Veronica and Roland joining him. "What do you mean, you
don't work for me? Don't you mean with me?"
"I'm a French citizen now and since you're President. I mean for you."
"You live in France now?"
"To be near my wife," Roland answered, looking lovingly at Veronica.
Noah caught on and asked. "You two are married!"
"Three months now." Veronica supplied as she held hands with Roland.
"And neither of my so-called friends invited me to their wedding!"
"I wasn't invited to yours." Roland countered.
"I couldn't invite you, I'd be taking a gamble with your life."
"Same reason you weren't invited," Roland said, "As the POTUS you would've brought the press
with you and we need to lead private lives."
"Besides you also had your hands full with Eva's shooting," Veronica said.
"Damn, Noah! Where'd you get her?" Roland asked. "The way she moved, like a pro!"
Noah got nervous with Roland's assumption and evaded, "A yoga class."
"You take yoga?"
