“Hello!” she said happily, and then she turned her gaze to Nelson as Peter walked toward her. “He’s doing just fine now, thanks to this guy,” she said, as she looked up gratefully at Peter.

He shrugged and gave a humble smile. “I didn’t do anything at all. It was the doctor, really. Listen, Nelson and I are just about finished, why don’t you unpack and let me know when you’re done, and I'll take you to dinner to welcome you home.” He looked at her hopefully, and she nodded with a grin.

“Okay. I’ll see you in a bit.” Peter carried her bags to her room for her and Nelson headed back into the office. It was nice to be back in her room, and somehow it didn’t seem as lonely as it had before. She unpacked and dressed for dinner in a light yellow summer dress. It hugged all her curves and there was just enough material in the flared hem for it to dance a bit as she walked.

She twirled a few times in the mirror and watched the edge of the dress waving and fluttering. She smiled to herself and then jumped when she heard his voice behind her.

He took her to a little restaurant on Royal Street for dinner. “I love Royal,” she said.

“I know. You told me once. That’s why we’re here,” he said giving her a sidelong glance.

They sat down to dinner and she looked at him curiously. “I’ve been gone a while. What’s going on with the project down here?”

He rolled his eyes and took a deep breath. “Well, there’s a lot going on and there’s nothing going on, simultaneously. The things that are happening are slow but they are moving forward. The things that aren’t moving forward are because of the Governor blocking me through the city political chains at every opportunity he gets. It’s really difficult. One of the things I wanted to tell you is that Tristan will be coming to stay at the house while we work through this. He needs to be here in the city while we get it all together. I am guessing that he will be with us for a couple of months. It really all depends on what happens with the city.”

Emmaline listened thoughtfully as he explained more of what was to come.

“I know I got upset about him
