“I promise you, Claire Richards, that you won’t mess anything up. You are incapable of messing anything up. You are a badass—if you don’t mind me saying—and what you do, you own. I’ve never met someone more capable. And if you don’t mind, I’d very much like to kiss you right now. We can pretend it never happened when we enter the new year, and back in Paris it might be a good idea to do that until you’re ready. But I promise you, I won't let it mess anything up. I won’t.”
