book 2/2, travelling
chapter 9, Russia
TRAVELLING
Russia
Filip and Natasha invite Alice to an exclusive ball. Thanks to the sex talk, Alice has a lot of fun. But then things start to go downhill, and after a warning, the travelling team goes into hiding. Disguised, Alice travels to meet the one person who might know what the heck is going on.
Note: When Russia began their war in Ukraine, I wondered whether I would have any regrets about this chapter. And I found that strangely, the paragraphs with political relevance have a sharper edge now. Luckily, there are no regrets. And Miron and Lavrenti are still one of my favourite couples.
