“All that and I don’t even get a kiss?” Ava’s hands stilled on her collar, and when she glanced up, Shane looked like he was fighting the urge to laugh. He thinks this is funny, Ava realized. Here he was, barely able to stand, and he still wanted to embarrass her. Unbelievable. 

If their positions were reversed, Shane would have taken the money and left Ava and Jared to rot on Chess. No, you wouldn’t. He would have left Jared, maybe, but not her. Never her. Shane realized he was still holding Ava’s arm and released it immediately. “Here.” He shoved a bag in her direction. “Tell your mother I miss her. She’s devastated by my absence, I’m sure.”

“How much do they want for me?” Jared squinted at his screen. “No reward yet. You’re wanted for questioning.” That was something. Shane exhaled and forced himself to mirror Ava’s easy expression. “That’s embarrassing, Castor. Try to keep up.”
