CHAPTER SIX

Callista followed Zane outside. It was the first time she’d left the manor since she’d found herself a couple centuries in the future. She still wasn’t sure what to make of that. It didn’t seem possible, yet she knew it was true. Her imagination wasn’t so good as to make up some of the things she’d already seen. The bathroom alone was a marvel. Electricity—she’d never figure out how it worked. Regina had causally flipped a switch on the wall and the room had filled with light. Candles were now for ambiance and only used if a person wanted to.

She feared it would take her a while to become accustomed to her new surroundings. She’d had an uneasy feeling all day. It was almost as if the walls were watching her. For all she knew they were. There was so much she didn’t understand yet. Callista wouldn’t come out and say it though. In her experience, it was better to fake it and let people believe she knew it all. They spilled more details that way. Whatever was making her uneasy was probably her imagination anyway.

It was a warm day and the sun shone brightly in the sky. The conservatory at Seabrook manor was amazing, but so were the grounds outside the mansion. Zane must hire an amazing gardening crew. He stopped in front of—Callista didn’t know what it was. It had wheels of a sort. For the life of her, she couldn’t say what they were made from. It sat low to the ground and was a sleek black, similar to her carriage. She glanced inside. The seats had the same dark shade. Callista took an involuntary step back her head hitting Zane’s hard chest. When had he managed to get behind her? The man was fast...

“Running away so soon?”

Callista shook her head. How was she supposed to respond to that? Whatever the conveyance in front of her was—it most certainly was not something she’d ever seen before. She didn’t like it. Surely he didn’t expect her to willingly sit inside it? How did such a thing even work? There were no horses to speak of. Did the beast run on electricity like the lights?

“I never retreat.”

And she didn’t. At least not usually... This was an entirely different set of circumstances. Anyone in her position would be weary of the unknown. She was dealing with people and things that were, at least to her, unexplainable. What kind of reaction did he expect her to have? In reverse, she’d expect him to be reluctant if he were experiencing something he didn’t comprehend. Asking questions might help alleviate her concerns, but her pride was making her want to pretend she could handle anything he tossed her way.

“Then let me help you inside,” he teased. “I promise you’re perfectly safe with me.”

“What sort of...” She wasn’t sure what to call it. “Transportation is this?” She gestured toward it.

“This is the newest Aston Martin Vanquish,” he explained. His voice held and edge of admiration mixed with glee as he stared at the monstrosity.
