Chapter Thirty-Four

Sunderland Home, East Milmore, Virginia

The credits rolled, and Bree shut off the DVD player and the TV. She could see why Liam loved Gone in Sixty Seconds so much—he had to if he had already watched it a half dozen times—but seeing it once was enough for her. Although she loved all the action, she would have preferred something less intense, maybe a drama or a comedy. She removed the DVD from the player, put it back into the case, and set it on the coffee table in front of Liam so he didn’t forget to take it when he left. Then she snuggled against him on the sofa.

He wrapped his arm around her. “I’m so happy I’m here. I still can’t believe my ma let us come.”

“I like your mom. Maybe I’ll get to see her again someday.” One morning on her way to school Bree had said goodbye to her own mom—and then never saw her again. Eighth grade was a big blur after that—a messed up jumble of raw emotion.

“She’d enjoy that.” Liam leaned forward and kissed the side of Bree’s neck, sending a shiver across her skin and distracting her from her thoughts.

She drew in a short breath and turned so she faced him. Liam’s lips met hers; he tasted like strawberries. Bree closed her eyes, wanting the kiss to last forever. It was like she was gliding above the clouds where nothing else mattered—only Liam and how he made her feel.

The refrigerator door slammed. Bree and Liam jumped, and Bree pulled away. With her breaths coming quickly, she said, “I forgot he was home.” A smile lit her face, and Liam chuckled.

“At least he didn’t walk in on us,” Liam said.

Bree nodded. She caught sight of her dad as he passed the room with a drink in hand. “He’s so busy with his work, I don’t think he even noticed we were here.”

“Speaking of work,” Liam said, “how’s it going?”

“Good.” Bree felt awful she couldn’t share the details with him. “I really wish you were working with me in the lab like we were back in Ireland.”

He took her hand. “It’s okay. I understand. Besides, it’s not like I’m across the world anymore. We still get to see each other.”

“Yeah, but it’s not the same.”

“No, but your research is important.”

She leaned into him. “What if they come after us?”

Liam wrapped his arm around her and said, “The Benandanti?”

“Who knows how many are out there.”

“They’ve managed to hide all these years. They obviously don’t want to be found.”

“They didn’t want the hand to be found either,” Bree said. “But it was.”

“Yeah, but they think they destroyed the DNA when they burned the hand, right?”

Bree looked into his eyes. “Maybe…I don’t know.”

“Whatever happens,” Liam said. “We’ll be fine. I promise.”

She nodded. Although she wanted to believe Liam, she wasn’t so sure.
