Katherine arranged a flight for the following evening, after Martin finished work.
Her assistant sent Martin the ticket, directions to a VIP arrivals lounge, and enough instructions to make him read the whole message three times before leaving his studio apartment. He spent most of the flight wondering how to greet Katherine when their first meeting in person would take them straight to Cassandra's penthouse.
Katherine had made him call her Mommy during their private call, then sent him a photograph meant for no one else. Since learning who she really was, he had watched her movies and spent hours beside Crimson Halo in the game, yet they had never shared the same room.
The moment he saw her waiting, every greeting he had considered during the flight went straight out of his head.
