CHAPTER TWENTY

As Skye walked around the end of the fence, she realized something was very wrong.

It was bad enough she felt disappointed. She’d suggested, verbally, that Jamison let her go home and they continue their discussion the next day. He’d agreed, on the condition she would prevent Lucas from ever erasing his memories, or trying to read his mind again. He’d settled for her promising the first. She didn’t know how Lucas would feel about it, but she would fight and argue and appeal to a higher authority if necessary.

And Jamison let her go.

In spite of how badly he’d managed to scare her, if only for what might happen to him, she’d been disappointed.

Ridiculous. What else had she wanted to do up there? Play house?

Aaagh! She had wanted to do just that!

But as she neared her front door, it was some other dread that stole over her.

Raised voices?

Impossible.

Her hand couldn’t seem to turn the knob, but it didn’t matter; someone did it for her.

Jonathan frowned and dragged her through the door. Her boot caught on the rug, but she regained her balance.

It would have been funny, having this man act like the angry father when his teen daughter stumbles through the door in the middle of the night. But he was not her father, couldn’t possibly be worried that something had happened to her, or be angry that she’d somehow broken her word.

Implied age had nothing at all to do with their relationship. They all had their own duties to fulfill. None of them would fail. What was there to worry over?

“Jonathan?”

He shook his head, as if he didn’t dare open his mouth for fear of what he might say. His hair flopped back and forth and as always, she tried not to stare at it.

“What is it? Were you worried about me?” She was confused, touched, but even to her own ears, she sounded more like the belligerent teenager she appeared to be. “I’m sorry if you were.”

“Tell her!” Jonathon looked over her shoulder and released her so she could turn and see who he was talking to.

Lucas stood in his whitest robes, blocking the entrance to the rest of the house. His arms weren’t folded, as they usually were when he was playing the part of Leader. Instead, they hung limp and lifeless at his sides. She had no doubt she could push him out of the way with one finger.

His brow wasn’t its usual stretch of smooth good humor; it was twisted as if with heartache. Had she somehow betrayed the man? Or Jonathan? They both acted as if she’d done just that.

She had suggested they not worry about her, not to come looking. What else had she done? Nothing but promise Jamison she’d stop Lucas from touching his memories again. That was all.

“Tell her, Lucas.”

“What is it? Have I done something...wrong?”

Lucas winced.

Dear Lord! She couldn’t have! If she’d truly sinned, in her present state, there was nothing to save her. She wouldn’t be allowed back Home.

But wait! She couldn’t have sinned.
