Chapter Ten

It was Mr. Mystery. Jasmine was certain it was. She hadn’t been so sure of something in a long time.

So what if it had been a shadow of a face across a field. So what if she couldn’t totally make it out. That didn’t shake her belief.

Maybe it was irrational, but it was almost like she could feel that it was him, maybe even smell that it was him. She could have sworn she’d detected hints of his woodsy scent, but she was also willing to admit she might be imagining that detail.

She let out a long sigh. If only he’d come closer and wasn’t in a field far away from her.

It had been days since she’d seen Mr. Mystery. In fact, nothing much of anything had happened during the last few days besides school.

She’d worried after the little visit by Colonel Hall that the military would be paying a lot more attention to her, but they’d kept their word and left her alone. The night patrols tolerated her presence in the few days she’d worked at the school after curfew, even if one night they’d still insisted on checking the building thoroughly, just in case.

The lack of Mr. Mystery or Spy Master Colonel left only school to take all her attention. Not that she wasn’t loving school.

Jasmine loved teaching the kids. Everything about it was engaging in all the ways she had hoped it would be when she’d gotten into the profession. She realized that their different background was also helping to educate her. Even if she left the job after just this week, she felt she was already a better teacher for it.

She still couldn’t help the yearning that pulled at her. The more she tried to concentrate only on school, the more Mr. Mystery’s face sneaked into her mind.

The thought of his lips on hers sent a zip to her center. Her cheeks heated. She was lusting over a man she barely knew.

She let out a long breath. There was just something about this man, and she had to know what it was. Maybe she’d be disappointed, but she sensed she wouldn’t.

If anything, he was a hybrid, and no one could say they were normal, boring men.

She hadn’t intentionally stayed late at work for most of the past few days. Well, not totally intentionally. She did actually have work to do, but maybe, on some level, she had been hoping that he might pop by again.

So when she’d been locking up the school doors for the evening to walk home, and a light clicked on across the way, she was moving before she could even think if it was a good idea. She didn’t want to be disappointed if she missed her chance to talk to him again.

Cool air swept through the field, and she shivered a little. Despite her casual wear of jeans, sweater, and a coat, the chilly air still nipped.

Her heart picked up, and she crept across the field toward where she’d spotted the light.
