Chapter Fourteen – Rachel

“She said meet her here at eleven? Seems kind of late, considering what you’ve been through already.”

“Okay, Gran. Thanks.” Angus sure knew how to worry over me like an old lady. “I just want to go inside, speak to Aubrey and tell her to leave. I’ve got the letter that started it all right here. That should be all we need.”

“Why would you need a letter?”

“Well, it’s like a trigger. Something that mattered to her in life. If I told you the whole story you’d understand.”

“Tell me, then,” he said with a sexy smile. “I’ve got nothing but time right now. Unless you’d like to do something else?”

“You pick now to swing that on me? As if I’d want our first time together to be in the car? Gross.”

“Oh, so you have thought about it.”

I stared at him incredulously. “Am I dead? Of course I think about it. It just seems you aren’t too interested in doing that.”

“Balls on that. I am very interested, but I’ve never made out with an American girl before. I wasn’t sure what the protocol was. There are no men in your family, no one I can ask for your hand.”

“Whoa there. We’re talking about having sex, not getting married.”

“Not where I’m from.” Ah, so that explained it. What had I gotten myself into? Was I dating a purist who believed in sex only after marriage? It was actually kind of sweet.

“I don’t always live right, but I try.”

“You don’t seem too religious to me.” Was he putting me on?

“That’s the thing, I’m not real religious at all. It’s not about religion, it’s about a code of conduct that I live by. I believe in honor.”

I snorted a laugh. “And that’s why you left me that first day at Idlewood.”

“I said I believe in it—I don’t always get it right.”

I laughed and watched Carrie Jo’s Beamer pull up. She had Ashland with her, and love must have been in the air because they were kissing passionately as soon as she parked. Hmm…maybe marriage wasn’t such a bad thing after all.

“Let’s roll, ghost hunter,” I said with a wink. He stole a kiss from me, and we stood outside my car, stomping our feet to warm up. “Man, who turned down the thermostat! I believe it could snow, it’s so cold. Come on, y’all!”

“Coming!” They got out of the car, and the four of us walked up to the house.

“Anyone else coming?”

“No, it’s just us tonight. Henri and Detra Ann had something else they had to do. I have agreed to let him ghost hunt the house, but if he puts it on his website he has to call it an undisclosed location. And I had another dream about what happened. Let’s go inside the tower, as Ash calls it, and light a fire. I’ll tell you what I know.”

I smiled at her, finally feeling that everyone would be okay. She wouldn’t lead me wrong, I knew that. Soon the fire warmed us and we sat around the table listening to Carrie Jo tell us about her dream.
