The interview with the anonymous assassin is the coup of Madison’s short journalistic career. The man is heartless, soulless, and determinedly seductive, and she leaves feeling shaken. Constantine should never have given in to the pressure to speak to the reporter, but once he does, he is caught by her innocent sensuality, so much so that he can’t forget her. Scaling her balcony on a rainy Paris night is even more suicidal, but it doesn’t matter. He has to have her. Just as she has to have him. Love is not in the cards for his broken soul, but he didn’t count on someone like Madison breaking down his resolve, his barriers, his very life. Happy endings aren’t for the likes of him.
