ROMAN AWOKE ON the morning of the christening and as he lay there he was hit with an unfamiliar feeling—he wanted to be waking up in his Parisian home.
Roman was not used to missing a city, or a building, but as he got up and showered he was glad that soon he would be going home.
Today, though, he would meet with Daniil.

The natural assumption might be that he would want to see his identical twin before seeing Anya.
The assumption would have been wrong.
He and Daniil had been abandoned at approximately two weeks of age. No one knew who had been born first but it had always been assumed that Roman was the elder.
Roman had been a natural leader and, though Daniil was as tough as they came, Roman had looked out for his brother at every turn. He had taken care of him and taken the fall for him and had wanted only the best for his twin.
