Bernard Montjoy thought he was content working the bar at the Hotel Garamond. Afternoons shambled along at a leisurely pace, affording him time to practice his mixology.

One summer morning a few days later, she walked into the room and turned his world right upside down. He saw her everywhere; and, he noted with great pleasure, she seemed to be keeping her eye on him as well. |
