"Of course it is." Audrey frowned at her, then looked at Duke. "I mean it, I'm not trying to get you to stay. You have to do what's right for you." She gave him a little, slightly sad smile. "I'll just. Miss you. That's all."

Duke nodded back. "Yeah." He grinned. "But not as much as you'd miss me if I was dead, right?"

Audrey rolled her eyes and sipped her beer.

"Anyway. We should get going." Duke offered Octavia his hand. "Julia. Very nice to see you again. Maybe we'll run into each other in Asia sometime. Nathan, Audrey . . . try not to get yourselves killed."
