Operation Proof of Life
“Pity-blocking was a skill he’d learned after his father’s death and continued to hone as an adult. He’d recently taken it to an art form after surviving his encounter with Fayez Raissi. Being at the mercy of a sociopathic prick was the epitome of loss of control.
The moment Brigit mentioned it and he’d frozen, he’d registered pity in her eyes. He could read her mind. He could hear her voice in his head. You poor thing… His expression must have said it all. She’d apologized and then made a j...oke, almost daring him to flirt with her. Which he appreciated. He didn’t have to call up one of his pity-blocking defenses and shift the conversation to safer ground.
The nightmares he’d experienced after the hostage situation were rare these days, but no less extreme when they hit. Even awake, when he looked at the den where Raissi had tried to blow him and the others sky high, the nightmares hung like phantoms in the air, toying with him.MoreLess
