CHAPTER EIGHT

AFTER TALKING ABOUT the media mess with the dig crew for almost an hour, Laurel found herself tuning out the hubbub of conversation as they sat on the back deck of their hotel, darkness shrouding the misty mountains beyond.

How they could still be rehashing the afternoon’s excitement with the media showing up to talk to each one of them, she didn’t know. Lord knew she was beyond tired of talking about it. The shock of them showing up in front of Andros’s house had faded, but she couldn’t get out of her head the surprising expression on Andros’s face when he’d stepped between her and that reporter. His hard-eyed, angry look and aggressive posture had her wondering if he might actually punch the irritating guy, and she was thankful he’d simply cleared them out of there before she’d had to say much.

Part of her had wanted to tell him she could handle it, but the truth was she’d been all too glad he’d hustled her and Cassie away into his house. It hadn’t occurred to her she might be asked about the sick crew members. Thanks heavens she had some time now to think of how she should answer.

The intrusion had ruined what had been an otherwise beautiful day. Spending time with adorable little Cassie had been even more fun than she’d expected, making her feel all warm and fuzzy inside. Helen had been twelve when their parents had died—about to start her teen years. Adorable in her own way, she’d been a little trying at times too. That might be true for Cassie as well, though she couldn’t imagine the child being anything but cute as a button.

It struck her with surprise that Helen had been even younger than Cassie when their parents started spending entire summers, rather than just weeks, away. How had they been able to leave her that long? Later leaving all three under Laurel’s insufficient care and guidance?

She didn’t think she could do that if she ever had children of her own someday, no matter how much she loved her work. Then fiercely shook her head, feeling a bit like a traitor to judge her parents that way. Reminded herself of how they’d both explained they were showing their girls that family life had to be balanced with work life.

Reminded herself how important their work had been to both them and the archaeological world. Reminded herself it was just as important to her, which she’d nearly forgotten today as she enjoyed herself in Kastorini.

Would this sudden media circus create yet another distraction from the job they had to get done with fewer hands and little time? She’d reminded the crew they had to focus, and they’d all agreed. Still, she knew it was human nature to love being on camera and part of a medical mystery, despite worrying about Mel, Tom and John in the midst of it.

Restlessness overcame her, and she stood. “I’m going to my room to plan where everyone will be working tomorrow.
