Ana could have told Fence and Quent about her communication with Darian, but even though they agreed to show her how to access the computer room, she still wasn’t quite ready to divulge all of her secrets. She’d already told them she hadn’t been in communication with Atlantis since leaving twelve years ago—but of course that wasn’t exactly true.

She’d been with Darian.

Besides…she’d have to wait and see if her former lover responded to the signal she’d left in the mailbox. She was certain he intended to—for why else would he have made the overture in the first place—but he might not know anything that could help them anyway.

There might not be anything to know.

They could all be wrong about a threat to Envy.

Although Ana didn’t really think so.

She insisted on leaving the subterranean chamber so she could visit her father, but her real motive was to get aboveground again, away from the piece of Jarrid crystal. Where she could breathe.

Although her own crystals no longer seemed to react to the fist-sized one’s proximity, she didn’t want to take any more chances than she needed to.

Nor was she about to tell Fence and his friends, quite yet, that she could probably help them learn to use the stone. She wouldn’t take the chance of revealing her whereabouts to those in Atlantis who wanted her back.

She visited with her dad long enough to hear him complain that he didn’t need to be kept in the infirmary any longer, and what was the big deal, and where were his petri dishes…but then Flo came in and all at once he stopped complaining.

And he stopped listening to Ana, instead transferring his attention to the older woman.

Well then.

Ana couldn’t help a bemused smile, and she slipped out of the room…and nearly ran into Fence.

Her burst of pleasure at finding him suddenly, unexpectedly, was quickly submerged. Opportunity knocked, huh?

And, dang it, girl, you let him answer the door. Crap.

“Hey,” Fence said, giving her that long, slow grin that turned her insides to mush. “Fancy meeting you here.”

She kept her face blank, trying to remember to be annoyed with the man who, number one, made her give up her biggest secret and put herself in danger, number two, practically turned her into a prisoner, and number three, called her an opportunity.

And then there was the big jerkwad who’d got all snotty on the beach.

But somehow…the memory of him crouching next to Tanya and promising her an awesomely crazy mushy apology rose in her mind. And the love and intensity in his face when he pointed out all of the sights on their journey from Glenway, his smooth, warm narrative telling her he loved his world as much as she loved her sea.

“Meeting up with you here?” she said, forcing her voice to sound cool. “How strange is that?”

“Stranger than a green alien,” he replied, deadpan. But his eyes smoldered and he drawled, “If I didn’t know any better, I’d think you were following me around, just to try and get another of those knee-shaking kisses.
