Chapter 21

The second the door had closed on the last Anderson, Amy rushed up the stairs to her room with the Generated by ABC Amber LIT Converter, http://www.processtext.com/abclit.html

hope that she could avoid Jeremy, at least until tomorrow, when she could be better prepared for the expected lecture. But the scamp outfoxed her. He was waiting in the hall, arms crossed, casually leaning against the door to her room.

She could, of course, turn around and rejoin her aunt and uncle, then follow them up to bed and hope Jeremy, able to hear them coming, would abandon his post. The problem with that was, the importance of the issue might lead her cousin to follow her back downstairs now and discuss it no matter who was present. He was at least making an effort to keep the matter private--for the time being.

But Amy would still have liked a bit more time, so as she reached around him to open her door, she tried. "I really don't want to talk about it."

"Too bad," was all he replied as he followed her into her room.

The trouble with Jeremy, though it was actually a good quality--just not right now--was, despite his carefree nature, he could be as serious as the

rest of the family when warranted. From the 221 look of him, he definitely felt this was one of those times.

"Tell me I drew the wrong conclusion." He attacked the moment the door had shut behind him. "Go on, I bloody well dare you."

she asked in reference to his tone, not to the subject, though both were related at the moment.

"That depends."

She didn't like the sound of that. "On what?"

"On how well I can read your promise signed in blood."

If he could say that, all wasn't lost. She grinned at him. "Try again."

He started pacing, which put a big dent in her moment of confidence. "You're going to have to be reasonable, Amy. You can't have him."

"Yes, I can, but go ahead and tell me why you think I can't."
