Chapter Fourteen

‡

Connor couldn’t believe he’d let EmmaLee talk him into driving her back to Georgia. Once EmmaLee’s thesis advisor confirmed that Dr. Wilmer Crenely, the expert in dinosaurs, had arrived in Billard two days ago, Connor could hardly say no to her.

He wouldn’t have agreed to it had Ronan not flown up to New York, and then told him he’d spotted Slater Coghill in the hotel. By tonight, Ronan should have him in custody and EmmaLee would be safe for good.

Be careful, his wolf growled.

Connor didn’t need the warning. He understood the chance he was taking by driving her to her hometown. If Ronan called and said Slater had been arrested, EmmaLee might decide to stay. While she didn’t have a job lined up at the college, he bet she could secure a place there as soon as she finished her thesis.

I will take care. I’ll make sure she wants to return home with us.

As he neared Billard, Connor glanced over at her. “When do you plan to show your talon to this expert?” She’d shown him what she’d found on the ground the day of the fire, and he had to agree that it wasn’t from any ordinary bird. Even an eagle’s talon wasn’t that thick and long. It had to have come from the animal EmmaLee had seen flying away from her house.

“I imagine he’ll have a line of grad students waiting to speak with him before the lecture. I might have a better chance of getting some quality time with him if I make an appointment with him afterward.”

“Sounds good.” That would keep them there for two more days, but this was important to her, and Connor seemed incapable of not giving her what she wanted.

It was close to two in the afternoon before they pulled in front of her apartment.

“Home sweet home,” she said.

Connor was surprised at the bit of sadness. “Miss your friends?”

“Yes, but it’s more than that. Billard represents my freedom. It’s been a long uphill battle to work full time in order to pay for school, attend classes, and study. It didn’t leave a lot of time for fun.”

He’d been lucky. His folks had paid for his education. “You are an ambitious woman.”

She looked over at him and smiled. “Thank you.”

As much as he wanted to ask about how Slater had fit into her life, he kept quiet. Why bring up a sore topic?

He cut the engine and EmmaLee pushed open the car door before he had the chance to open it for her.

“Let’s hope I didn’t leave some food in the fridge and the place stinks,” she said. “We did leave in a hurry.”

“You didn’t ask anyone to check on your place?”

“I saw no need. I don’t have any plants or animals that needed care, and I forwarded my mail to your office address like you asked.”

He opened the back of the car and dragged out their suitcases. “After you.”

Shoulders straight, she dug her hand into her purse for her key as she walked to the front.
