Maja couldn't help but feel the encounter with the woman was too coincidental, and yet when they were both caught up in a foreign land's black market, the woman showed no sign of panic.
But what Maja chose to believe was the genuine emotion in the woman's eyes when she spoke of finding her brother. That kind of feeling couldn't be faked; perhaps she truly was here to look for someone.
Later, as they entered the hotel together and caught sight of each other's faces, the woman showed no surprise, confirming she didn't recognize Maja.
Maja sipped the broth from the bowl before her.
"She must be here to find someone," she mused.
Ian reached out, affectionately ruffling her hair. He knew Maja well; she appeared aloof but was tender-hearted and struggled to be harsh to anyone. Her strong sense of responsibility was both a blessing and a curse.
Anyway, he wouldn't force her to change.
After finishing her soup, Maja brushed her teeth.
When she emerged from the bathroom, Ian set aside his laptop and began to dry her hair, a moment of intimacy they hadn't shared in a long time. Maja leaned against his chest, the warm air lulling her towards sleep.
Ian's fingers weaved through her hair, and seeing her exhaustion, he gently massaged her scalp until she drifted off. He tucked her in carefully before the phone rang.
"Sir, do we need to come to your hotel?" his man on the other end asked.
"Yeah, come over. I'll go downstairs to book rooms for you guys. There's a whole crowd coming soon."
"Got it."

The readers' comments on the novel: Dear Ex-wife Marry Me novel (Maja)
Author, would you story about Ryan settling down and another story on Eric regaining his body and memories back from Patrick, and Eric also settling down as I find it so disheartening for him to have gone through what he went through at the research institute, and I'll like for him to get his "golden boy" life back though, not at the detriment of Ian....
When will the author update to finish Beck's story? What about Dylan and Tyler's love lives? Also, I'll like the author to write on Wilma and Elvis ending up together as she was quite persistent in pursuing him. And Shawn's story, Cornelia Sullivan and Omar Casson. Also, a little write-up on Jeff (Ian's assistant) love life, too. Thanks, author for updating....
