Chapter Twenty

Jake Marsthall. Anna’s mind couldn’t stop going back to the gorgeous agent. Ridiculously handsome and the first man she’d ever met who understood who and what she was. Was that why she found him so attractive? She’d been so careful since the children’s father. Dates had been few and far between, and sex had been nonexistent. Was she lowering her barriers due to circumstances or because of Jake himself?

He’d left her for the day to procure an ID for her that would allow her to board a plane, and so she could “tidy up” her own loose ends. Apparently, her idea of the things that needed tidying weren’t the same as his. Jake assumed she’d pack all of her belongings―meager though they were―and use the gods’ money to either store or ship everything north. She’d sever ties with her clients and then be free to fly out in the morning.

But Anna hadn’t spent her years being independent for nothing. She was not taking her welcome in the Blue Hills at face value. Her children and their immortal friends might be curious, but what if they resented her? Or Anna might not feel comfortable living in the world of gods. So many things could go very wrong with the hearts-and-flowers reunion she’d been assured of by Jake. Better to do things her own way, as she’d been doing for so long.

Anna hoofed it to the bank down the street. She didn’t have a car. She didn’t need one. All of her cleaning clients were in the large apartment complex where she lived. Most were as poor as she, but her rates were low, as long as they paid in cash. And like her, they all worked long hours. So to a person, they were exhausted by days end and thankful to come home to a clean apartment.

She’d been keeping her money in a safe deposit box, not wanting to open an actual bank account for fear of her name getting into the system. Ha-ha. Fat lot of good that had done her. Seems like she’d been pretty easy to find.

Anna emptied the box of the few thousand dollars she’d saved, and locked it back up. She wouldn’t turn in her key yet. You never know. She might need it again.

The next stop was her landlord’s office. She’d just paid February’s rent, but dug deep and gave him the cash for March so he’d hold it for her should she return. If he was surprised, he didn’t show it. He was strictly a collect-the-rent and keep-his-nose-out-of-other-people’s-business kind of guy. It suited him and her as well.

Anna’s only regret was leaving her clients. She had worked hard to build up her cleaning business and a reputation as someone who could be trusted. She would miss them, and they would probably miss her. Anna was good at what she did, and they all appreciated it.

She used her keys to enter each and every one of the apartments she took care of, where she penned a note explaining that a family emergency―which it sort of was―had taken her away.
