An extract from the second chapter of Goddess v2.0

‘Before you get too excited, we must make a l’chaim.’ Polanski reached into a bag, retrieved a dark glass bottle and offered it to Dov. ‘A small gift for your return to Israel.’

Dov turned the bottle towards a nearby streetlight. ‘The wine’s label is in Cyrillic. I only read–’

Krista gasped as her bundle dropped onto the sand. ‘Wow!’

Polanski’s face fell. ‘You know Russian and Hebrew?’

Dov smiled and stroked Freyja’s hair. ‘You have many words, in different languages.’

Freyja returned Dov’s smile. ‘Is good?’

‘Better than me,’ Dov replied.
