Chapter Seven

Krisana felt JD’s growing tension. It began on the steps outside of Phineas Cruz’s law offices and now that they were on their way to the opera house, it was worse. Though it had started when she’d commented on Phineas Cruz, she didn’t think that was the reason. Phineas had been less of a cat this time and more of an odd bird.

The weather had turned suddenly wild, as well. Dark clouds hovered and the wind whipped like a chained demon. She wondered if JD was regretting the papers they’d just signed. She’d been so wrapped up in her own situation that she hadn’t given thought to his. Anya’s ghost aside, for JD it must not be easy to have his uncle give away half of a valuable property to a relative stranger.

“You’re upset,” she said, sliding her hand over his fisted one. “Is it the opera house? Now that the shares are mine, I can give them to you. You’ve put so much work into it; you really should own it all.

He was startled, as if she’d smacked him. He grasped her hand. “Lord, no. Whatever gave you that idea? Having you with me is a relief. I can maintain the place, take care of business aspects, but artistically I’m clueless.”

“You want me to take care of putting the place on the map, so to speak. Make it the Metropolitan Opera House of Virginia, where people from all over come to hear the best classical music has to offer. I can make that happen. I’ve met great artists from all over the world. My only concern would be getting a large enough audience. How many people does the opera house seat?”

JD’s jaw dropped. “I really hadn’t thought about it thoroughly. I guess in the back of my mind, I’d envisioned putting on a few events for the town. It seats three hundred.”

She laughed. “If I remember the sign right, that’s almost the entire population of the town.”

“Well, yes.” He exhaled. “Don’t worry about it. We can work out all the details. I know the old man wanted music to fill the place for Anya’s sake. But you must make the opera house a place of your dreams if it fits into them, not hers.”

She smiled. “How can a place of such beauty and acoustical perfection not fit into my dreams? If you’re not worried about the partnership, then what?”

He sighed and gazed out at the storm. “I’m anxious about tonight. That it will all be enough. That I will be enough.”

“Nerves before a performance?” She leaned over and pressed her head into the crook of his neck as she hugged him. “That’s normal. But don’t worry. You’ll be fine.”

He didn’t say anything, but his mouth sought hers in a kiss that was more desperate and more needy than any before. Krisana kissed him back and felt tears sting her eyes. She hadn’t realized how vulnerable this powerful man was. She wanted to comfort him, but wasn’t sure how.
