Chapter Twelve

The truck began to slow--or maybe it was just her brain function. What other explanation was there for kissing a guy who was either out of his mind, or her enemy?

He certainly didn’t feel like the enemy, though. He didn’t taste like an enemy either. And if she was being completely honest with herself, she really couldn’t believe, deep down, that the guy wasn’t 100% on her side.

Bad news was it meant he was crazy.

A ghost from Scotland? She didn’t believe in ghosts, but even if she did, he couldn’t actually expect her to believe he was one, right?

Those lips should be cold—but he had an excuse for that.

And her face should be sliding right through his—but it wasn’t.

She really wanted him to not be crazy. But what alternative was there? That he was telling the truth? And if he was telling the truth, that meant he wasn’t going to be around tomorrow and she’s be alone again. She was used to it, of course. Except for Milton, she’d been basically alone for months, since her mom died. Being alone again, in the morning, wasn’t going to be such a big deal. But never seeing Lachlan again?

Thinking about it sent a little pain through her chest that originated just left of center.

Who was she kidding? It was just a little heartburn…caused by a couple of exposed knees. And the fact that she’d gotten used to having him around, like a stray puppy that didn’t know enough to take care of himself. Although, Lachlan didn’t have that problem. Of course, if went around claiming to be a ghost, he’d find himself in all kinds of trouble. She was practically obligated to stick with him.

Finally, she either had to end the kiss or admit that she liked the guy. And since admitting anything might keep him around long enough to get hurt, she ended the kiss and pulled back.

“I’ve thought about it,” she said. “And I don’t think you’re working for my stepfather.”

She could tell he was grinning, even in the dark.

“But it wasn’t because you kissed me, all right?”

“Of course,” he said, but she could hear laughter in his voice. She couldn’t help herself and laughed a little too.

The truck turned and accelerated and she toppled into him. A few seconds later, she was able to scoot back again but she was a little surprised he hadn't tried to take advantage.

"Harper, listen well. I will prove myself to ye. I vow it. I will take ye to see this lawyer fellow and I will prove what I say is true. Ye will be safe before I leave ye."

“Don’t worry about it. I think there is a real chance you’re out of your mind, but since I don’t think you’re a danger, to me at least, then let’s not dig too deep, all right?

The truck turned twice more while they sat in silence, waiting for it to stop. After a third turn, it tilted forward, throwing them against the back of the velvet seat, and they were plunged back into total darkness again.
