Enough already, I thought, tossing it aside. I broke open the second cookie.

YOUR DESTINY IS AT HAND.

Connor

“You’re so tense,” Lynne noticed as she massaged my back and shoulders. “Stress?”

I brushed it off. “More strange dreams, that’s all,” I said.

“Stranger than usual?” she kissed my bare shoulder. That almost made me forget all the rubbish that was cluttering my mind. I wish it could have.

I kissed her forehead. “Now I’m being told to take you to church.”

She drew back, surprised. “Take me to church? Which one?”

“I haven’t a clue. I told you it was strange.”

My satellite phone rang then. “If it’s Edward, don’t answer it,” Lynne told me. “Every time you talk to him, you end up in a foul mood.”

“I have to talk to him this time, darlin’,” I said, pulling away from her.

She reached for the phone on the nightstand and passed it to me reluctantly. “I’ll go make some coffee,” she said. “Don’t let him get to you.”

I waited until she left the room, then took the call. “Edward,” I said. “Is it done?”

“No.”

“No? Why not?”

“You have to come back here," Edward insisted. "We have people to answer to."

"Correction—you have people to answer to," I told him. "I have no obligation to anyone but myself and my wife."

"Wife? You married her?"

"Yes. As a wedding gift, you can forget you ever knew me. Won't cost you a dime."

"You have no idea what that would cost me—and you," Edward snapped. "You can't do this—"

"Try and stop me!"

"They'll never let you go."

"They don't own me, Edward."

"What about Sarah?" he asked then. "Are you going to turn your back on her, too?"

"Of course not!"

"Reconsider this, Andrew—"

"Connor."

"Reconsider. Before it's too late."

Then the line went dead.

I stared at the phone for a long moment, confused by the conversation that had just taken place. I wanted to call him back, to find out what he’d meant, but I couldn’t. I wasn’t about to concern Lynne with any of this bullshit. Not yet.

Not until I knew what kind of rubbish Edward was trying to pull this time.
