Chapter Fifteen

They walked along one of many beautiful trails in City Park after spending the morning touring an old antebellum mansion. The air was mild in the shade of some mossy oak trees near a pond. They decided to sit on a bench and pass some time alone, away from the excitement of the fairgrounds and main attractions.

“I’m trying not to think too much about this being our last day together for a while.” Emanuela snuggled in to Finn’s side and rested her head on his shoulder.

He wrapped his arm around her, pulling her closer. “I know. I don’t think I can go a month before seeing you again. The only thing that got me through those last two weeks was knowing I’d be here with you now, and barely.”

“I’m not sure how easy it’ll be to see each other more than once a month. It’s really overwhelming for me to think too far in advance. I’ll just be in my head and ruin the rest of our time together.”

He kissed the top of her head, thinking. “Okay. Let’s not think that far ahead then. How about we just plan as we go?”

She nodded against his shoulder. “You and Simon found a few potential locations for your new lab space, so I’ll have to come inspect them. I have to make sure you two aren’t up to anything suspicious,” she said, giving her words less of an edge.

“We have. We’re looking forward to getting out of his garage and into a real lab. We aren’t the only ones interested, so we’ll need to decide pretty soon.”

She was quiet for a long moment, and he could practically see her busy schedule running through her brain.

“I can do it in two weeks,” she said.

“Are you sure? Can you just decide like that or do you need someone to sign off first?”

“Subtle.” She moved her head to glare at him playfully.

He kissed her nose.

“It’s part of my job description, Finn. The timeline is different for each project. What I do sometimes depends on what you do, so if you tell me there’s real estate to look at, I book a flight. If there’s some new development related to a product we’re backing, it’s possible that I may need to come see what you’re up to.”

“Interesting.”

“Uh-uh. Don’t get any ideas. If you two blow something up, it’s my ass on the line.”

“Well,” he said with false gravity, his hand snaking down her spine. “I’ll do everything I can to make sure your ass isn’t compromised in any objectionable way.”

“Finn!” She grabbed the delinquent hand at her backside. “I’m serious!”

“So am I.” He nuzzled her neck.

“You aren’t.” Though her expression was serious, her head tilted back to welcome his affection. “Besides, it’s likely going to be you doing most of the flying. Your schedule is more flexible than mine.”

He raised his head to look at her, considering her words for a moment. He decided now was as good a time as any to tell her about Simon.
