Chapter Six

Faith hurriedly turned back to the bones. Finding Muscles in the cave once more was disconcerting, to say the least. She wasn’t sure why he was with her so much, but there was no reason for her to complain.

Ever since Dmitri had arrived, Tamir hadn’t been bombarded with the crazies. She was going to owe Ronnie big time.

She frowned, wondering how Ronnie knew Muscles. Faith had met Ronnie’s husband, Arran, once. A strapping Highlander with golden eyes, and a love for Ronnie that made women everywhere swoon and sigh.

Even her.

She moved aside more dirt with the brush as she thought about Ronnie and Arran. Marriage wasn’t something Faith ever saw for herself. It had a lot to do with how she’d grown up. Her mother had been just fine without a man in her life, especially after her father ran off.

Perhaps that was why Faith never chased after guys. She’d tried relationships a time or two, but the men just got in the way of, well, everything.

She loved her independence and her job. Neither of which left time or room for love.

A quick glance over her shoulder showed that Muscles was gone. She blew out a breath of relief. He set her teeth on edge. Every time he was near, the air around her seemed to vibrate with intensity.

At least it did once she noticed him.

She crossed her legs and scooted closer to the bones. All day, and she’d only uncovered about four more inches. It was a tedious process because she wanted to make sure that she didn’t accidentally destroy something.

It was why she didn’t allow anyone to help unless she was present. Mixed in with the volunteers were students getting field experience, who were more than anxious to prove themselves.

The only way for them to learn was to actually do the digging, but there were some parts she didn’t want them messing with. The neck was one.

Actually, if she had her way, she would only have Tamir with her. But she didn’t get her way. There were rules she had to follow.

If only she had the money to fund her own digs as Ronnie did now. Faith might not be jealous of her friend’s love life, but she was envious that Ronnie ran her own digs.

“One day,” she whispered to herself.

Uncovering what had been hidden for generations was a passion. But it was finding funding and getting approval to dig from countries and influential people that managed to take a lot of the joy out of it.

Her job was a far cry from Indiana Jones.

That made her smile because that’s what her mother had called her the moment Faith had decided she wanted to be an archeologist.

She turned up her music to help drown out her memories while she worked. Soon, her mind was totally focused on the dragon skeleton and the secrets it had yet to share.

She imagined what its life had been like living on Fair. With more and more of the neck bones exposed, she could envision the island as a home to dragons, much as it was to the birds now.
