Chapter Eighteen

Greer packed her bags and double-checked her passport and other essentials to make sure she had an easy flight back to the States. What she’d do once she arrived, she still wasn’t sure.

Her professional relationship with Sean was over, but so was any conflict about their new coupling, and that was something she wanted very much to pursue. He’d revealed more about his intentions than she had ever imagined. She’d never guessed that he might be happy in a place like Denver. And new thoughts and plans had found their way into her head and heart, and she was more than ready to pursue those too—charity work, philanthropy to help the poor and homeless. She thought a bit more traveling would be nice. There suddenly seemed to be a whole huge world out there, and Greer hadn’t seen nearly enough of it.

She met Sean in the lobby as they checked out, knowing that he was the man she wanted to do that traveling with. He was capable, resourceful, gentlemanly, and he was the most amazing lover she’d ever had or likely ever would have. Memories of her husband faded by comparison. Even the new realization that Spencer Lange was alive, and that he had secrets of his own, was a numbing reality that faded with every minute.

He hadn’t been the man she thought he was, the man she’d searched for. He never was and never would be. That man was an ideal and a preconception that Greer carried in her mind. But she’d developed, matured since his disappearance. She was a better woman with a better man, and she had a better life and a better future.

But without needing a second glance onto the street, she knew that they wouldn’t even get as far as the door. The block was packed with rioters, chanting and waving their fists, and policemen on horseback and on the ground in riot gear, unable to control them.

“Holy crap,” Greer said. “What happened?”

Carlo shrugged. “There is unrest, senorita. It cannot be helped.”

Greer glanced at Sean. “Now what?”

Sean shrugged too. “The whole city can’t be jammed up like this. Let’s carry our bags down a few blocks. It’ll open up.”

Greer turned to Carlo. “Or you could wait,” he said without needing to be asked.

“Airline will probably wave any fees,” Sean said.

“It’s not the fees I’m worried about,” Greer said. “If this place is going to have a revolution or something, I don’t particularly want to be here for it.” She picked up her suitcase, heavier than she remembered it being, and said to Sean, “Looks like we’re walking.”

She led Sean out the doors, the crowd thick around them. Sean led the charge, pushing their way through the dense throng, shoving them out of the way when necessary.

The Ecuadorians were small, tiny compared to Sean’s sizable presence, so clearing a path was easier for him than it would have been for Greer. Even so, she held close to him as they struggled to push through the dense crowd.
