Cathryn

“Leave off that, love, and come have some rest.” Seamus laid a hand on my shoulder, brushing my hair away from my face. “You’ve been going over and over all the emails and your notes, and nothing’s changing. Let’s just lie down and close our eyes for an hour.”

I knew he was right, but the stubborn part of me that wasn’t used to listening to anyone’s directives dug in its heels. “I don’t have time for rest right now, Seamus. This is it. I’m going to be explaining everything to the whole assembled team when we gather tonight, and if I don’t get this right . . .” My voice trailed off. “Well, there’s no choice. I have to explain it all down to the very smallest detail.”

“Ah.” He folded his arms across his chest, raised one eyebrow and nodded. “And when you fall over because you’ve passed out in utter exhaustion, what sort of impression do you think that will make, eh? If you don’t sleep some, Cathryn, you’ll not be on your game.” He brushed my cheek with the backs of his fingers. “I know you’re an extraordinarily gifted woman, and I understand that you carry the weight of this entire operation on your shoulders. But you’re only human, love. And we humans must have our rest.”

Maybe it was the lack of sleep, but he was beginning to make enough sense that with a sigh, I closed the laptop and leaned back against his body, letting my eyes close. “Maybe just an hour. Will you set an alarm?”

“I will. Come on over here and look at this lovely bed your grandmother has prepared for us. It’s soft and made up with the finest cotton sheets. I’m pretty sure they’re from Ireland.” He drew back the coverlet and guided me to lay down. “Tuck in there, and I’ll turn off the light and be right with you.”

The bed really did feel amazing. I objected to his use of the word grandmother when it came to Veronica, but then again, she was my ancestor, and grandmother was probably the least complicated way to describe our relationship. I knew, too, that she had indeed designed this room specifically for me. While all the other bedroom suites in the cabin had been up for grabs, she’d informed me that my room was upstairs in the center of the hallway. It was decorated exactly to my tastes, with plenty of cotton lace, simple but tasteful wooden furniture and a huge four-poster bed dominating the space.

The room fell into darkness, and I forced my eyes to stay open until Seamus rejoined me. When he took more than a few moments, I called out to him.

“I’m coming, darlin’. Just setting that alarm as you asked.” The bed dipped with Seamus’ weight, and out of instinct, I rolled closer to his warmth. He opened his arm, waiting for me to snuggle up and lay my head on his firm, broad chest.

It was mind-boggling sometimes for me to realize that I’d only known this man for a few months.
