Chapter 12

Emma smiled and waved at Dexter and Helen as they left her flat, arms loaded with books. After Helen adjusted to the news, she turned out to be full of ideas and a drive to help get her granddaughter back. She’d demanded to see their research and didn’t want to waste time sightseeing while they worked at the house, so they went to Emma’s flat where she lent her some new books they hadn’t gone through yet. Helen hadn’t been swayed by the sad lack of information, not having been running into dead ends as they had for the last month and a half, and her fresh enthusiasm made Emma think the spunky powerhouse of a granny might just find something they’d overlooked.

After spending the night with Dexter, even the whirlwind morning hadn’t brought her headache back, and for the first time in weeks, she felt normal. Every minute that passed after Dexter left had her believing she’d sink back into pain filled melancholy again, but miraculously she didn’t. She decided to stop worrying about it coming back, either it would or it wouldn’t, and enjoy every second she was pain-free.

There was a moment when her hands wanted to turn the steering wheel toward Oxford, but she managed to shrug it off without much inner turmoil. Speaking to Helen about Dahlia had put things into perspective a bit for her. Her daughter was waiting for her in her proper time, ten years from now. She couldn’t split her interests anymore by wasting energy and getting no sleep, and if she stopped going altogether, and kept close to Dexter, maybe she could wait out the time for Ashford to reappear without going insane. She was actually whistling when she entered her office, she felt so good.

Keeping close to Dexter wasn’t going to be difficult at all. She shook her hair over her cheeks in case anyone passed her office and saw her blushing. She really felt she could love him. The sense of unfairness started to settle over her as reality nosed its rude way into her thoughts.

As much as she admitted to herself now that she wanted Dexter for more than a distraction, she knew it couldn’t last. Not if she made it home, which was the only ending she could possibly settle for. She’d have to decide if she would rein it in now, tell Dexter it was a mistake and they should get back to professional terms or go whole hog until he was torn from her. She wasn’t sure the joy of getting home would be enough to heal the heartbreak that was sure to cause, and wondered if the pain would be worth it.

As if to taunt her, Dexter appeared in her doorway, a vase tucked under one arm and a sheaf of papers in his hand. She got a rush of nerves remembering what those capable hands could do, the pleasurable goosebumps he’d raised all over her body, and felt her cheeks going hot again.
