CHAPTER EIGHT

“YOU SURE YOU feel well enough to go to school?” Axel asked as Eira sat at the island counter eating a bowl of porridge. “Do you have everything you need?”

“I’m fine, Uncle Axel. I need to get back to school. I don’t want to fall too behind.”

A small smile quirked on his lips. “Well, I can drive you.”

“I can take the bus.” Eira finished her breakfast. “How is Betty?”

“Sleeping still. I’ll check on her in a bit,” he said tightly, because he didn’t want to think about Betty at the moment. When he had finally fallen asleep he’d dreamed about her. He’d dreamed about her in his arms.

It was unnerving.

He took Eira’s bowl and washed it.

“If she’s up for it you should take her around Reykjavik and see the sights.”

“She’s supposed to be resting. That’s why we’re both off work.”

“She’s injured but you’re off work?”

“She has to be watched for concussion and your grandfather gave me to time off to watch you.”

“She watched television last night though,” Eira stated.

Axel cocked an eyebrow. “And?”

“Those with concussions shouldn’t watch television. They get headaches.”

Axel chuckled. “And how do you know?”

“I’ve spent my whole life around doctors. You pick stuff up. Besides, we covered it in health class recently,” Eira replied tartly.

“Still, if she doesn’t have a concussion we should get back to work.”

“No, Uncle. You should take her out and show her a good time.” There was a smug smile on her sweet little face. A mischievous playful smile that reminded Axel of Calder.

“What’re you implying?”

“Nothing. She’s American and she’s here only for a short time. I’m sure if Grandfather has his way, her time will be spent in the hospital and she won’t get to see any of Iceland. Now’s your chance. Go let loose. You’re wound way too tight.”

“What?” Axel asked, shocked.

“Wound too tight.” Eira grinned and then gave him a kiss on the cheek. “I have my keys. I’ll see you later.”

Axel shook his head as the door shut in the distance. Since when had Eira become so self-assured? He couldn’t remember the last time she’d been so bubbly and affectionate. This was the Eira he remembered.

The vivacious little girl with the red curls and her father’s devil-may-care attitude. His brother had always been full of life. Wanting to live it to the fullest. It was what Axel had always striven for, emulating his older brother, but he’d never been able to live as footloose and fancy-free as his brother had.

His brother, and even his father, had very tall shadows and Axel could never quite step out of the darkness and into the light.

Maybe that’s why you’re so drawn to Betty? She’s light.

“Good morning.”

He turned around, surprised to see her. Her hair was done and she was dressed for the day. Except for the paper sutures holding her gash together and some bruising, she looked well.

She looked really well.

And then an image from his dream came rushing to the forefront of his mind. Of her in his arms, her luscious red lips against his and his hands in her silken blonde hair.
