"We really are sorry Sean." Holly said climbing out the car and up the steps to their Paris home. The three men following her. "Although we shouldn't be apologising. You work for me..." Johnny said making Sean roll his eyes. "And why is it you pay me the obscene amount of money? To protect you. And I can't very well do that when I don't even know where you are. I'm going lightly on you.. wait until Trav gets hold of Holly." The latter smiled nervously before they entered the home. It was quiet which was a good sign meaning Teddy must have remained asleep. Their relief was short lived when they spotted Travis pacing in the dark around the kitchen island. "Boss why didn't you answer your phone???" "Yes alright. We've been read our rights by Sean you don't need to go on about it." Johnny said grabbing a bottle of water for him and his wife out the refrigerator. Travis' eyebrows furrowed "What?? I meant Betts!" "Ahh well, in that case my wife and I will bid you all a good out." Johnny said elaborately grabbing his wife's hand and heading back into the hallway and up the stairs.

"What the fuck happened?" Travis asked concerned. "Oh don't... two madly in love people who should know better. They did no harm but I want them to know there's no way I'm having it be a regular occurrence." Sean said pouring himself a drink from the bar with a smirk. "Yeah I wouldn't worry Trav, it was more than likely Johnny's idea. Holly obeys your every word." Malcolm smiled. Travis who was now even more confused replied "I meant why didn't you answer your phones??! I have a code red situation." "Red?" Malcolm said shocked. "Are the kids ok? What happened?" Sean said deeply concerned. "Everyone is fine, I think.. but Mark called. He's on the next plane to Charles De Gulle." Sean's eyebrows raised high as he looked at his two colleagues gravely.

"I had the best evening with you.." Holly said smiling in the mirror where Johnny locked eyes with her. His wife was removing her jewellery in the walk in closet whilst he removed his shirt. She had amassed quite the collection in her years of being with Johnny, and valued every piece dearly, taking great care with it all. "Me too darling. Just what the doctor ordered and our little champ wasn't a minute's problem by the sounds of things." Johnny said proudly. "I know.. he's growing up way too fast." Holly said sadly before Johnny approached topless, his trousers undone and wrapped his arms around her from behind. "This dress looks sensational on you my love." She lent back into him and allowed his body to embrace her. "Don't think I didn't spot every fucker in the room wanting you." Holly blushed coyly before she immediately responded "Don't be silly... nobody wants me.." "oh they do, I can't believe you still don't see it. You outshine everyone." She smiled, before the comment took her back to the strange man earlier in the evening. Who was he? She guessed she would never know and that he wanted it to be that way hence the mask. Shaking off her concerns, she turned in her husband's arms. "I love you so much." She whispered before he kissed her passionately. He pulled back after a few moments "let's get you out of this dress."
