holding two bottles of wine.

“Hey Bardot! Your old pal is here to see you! Just look at what I’ve brought you, it’ s the

bright smile. “Lawrence, didn’t you say that the Archaeological Society will be having a

meeting today? Why did you rush over here then?”

he had a different position as an official in the archaeology industry. Naturally, Aidan

was overjoyed to see him.
