Chapter Eight

The whole way home, Joslynn kept reminding herself that everything would work out. She was finally on her way home and Kathy should already be back with her parents. She’d follow up with the young girl in the coming days, but knowing she’d be surrounded by family was a weight off Joslynn’s shoulders.

Yet, knowing they’d left behind Sal in Ireland didn’t ease the tension within her. The nagging feeling that something was off was still eating away at her. Maybe it wasn’t about Sal. Maybe it was the fact they were going home and she’d have to tell Annie what had happened with Chip. Eventually, she’d have to tell Jack, too. At least, with him deployed, she didn’t have to face that when she got off the plane, too.

“Jos.” Chip’s voice pulled her out of her thoughts and back into the present.

“Yeah?” Snuggled against his side, she tipped her head to glance up at him.

“Talk to me?”

She pulled back enough so she could take him in completely. He wasn’t a fan of flying but after takeoff he relaxed, as long as the flight remained smooth. His words made her wonder if he was becoming anxious knowing they’d be coming into Pittsburgh International Airport soon. But, as she looked up at him, she found him calm.

“You’ve been lost in your thoughts. Are you okay?” he added as if understanding why she was staring up at him.

“I was just thinking about everything that’s happened.” She took his other hand in hers and linked their fingers. “Everything seemed dismal before you found me in that pub and now, even knowing Sal is out there somewhere, I can’t help but feel a little carefree. Well, maybe that’s not the word. I’m still concerned about telling Annie and Jack but being here with you is worth it.”

“Annie still thinks we’re coming home tomorrow. Why don’t we go back to my house and face her tomorrow?”

As much as she wanted to go home and get into her own clothes, rather than remain in this outfit she’d picked up at one of the shops near the hotel, she’d rather spend the night with him. “Okay.”

“Ladies and gentlemen, if you could return to your seats, we’ll begin our decent momentarily.” The captain’s voice came out the loudspeaker, causing Chip’s body to tighten.

“Hey.” She squeezed his hand. “We’ll be on the ground in a few minutes.”

“I know.” His tone was clipped but his gaze stayed locked on hers. “I’m looking forward to getting you back to my place.”

“Really now?” Teasing, she raised an eyebrow at him.

“You don’t know how many nights I’ve dreamt about having you in my bed.” He tangled his fingers in her long hair, tugging gently. “I bought that house with you in mind. When I was house hunting my realtor took me through it and I knew you’d love it. I could picture you in every space of that house and without thinking twice, I made an offer.”

“I wondered why you purchased it. You were looking for a condo near the city, so you could enjoy the views.
