Friday.

Zoe Morton closed the door of her office after bidding Suzanne a good evening. She had spent the day in a state of barely concealed anxiety. She felt badly about sending Suzanne in her place to deal with Carla’s emergency. The meeting with her father today loomed over everything else. She had no energy left over, even for Carla.

Wesley had promised the confrontation with her father would be cancelled if she did not feel comfortable about it. He claimed he knew she had made her peace with the idea of seeing her father again, but she knew that peace was hard won. Neither of them could be completely sure of her reaction when face to face with the man she had falsely accused of everything wrong in her early life, including the suicide of her mother.

She had decided she needed a few minutes to calm herself down before heading home to face what was to come. She almost regretted the decision to allow Wesley to hold the meeting in her precious home. She had shown the kind of indecision that was not in her nature over this. In the end she felt her home showed her personality and her growth in a way that no words could express. She had no desire to meet her father again in a public place. She might break down and that was unbearable to think about.

Ever since Wesley had told her, with great sensitivity, about his encounter with Michael Morton she had been in turmoil. Eventually the first shock had subsided. She was calmer now than she had been then. Wesley had predicted there would be a regression in her recovery so he had stuck with her every minute for several days knowing the entire perspective of her pre-London life had to undergo a severe change. She had stormed and raged for hours on end at the waste of time and energy. She railed at her mother for cheating her of her innocence and at her father for not breaking through all the barriers she had raised against him. Had it not been for Wesley’s support and reassurances that she could, indeed, cope with this final step, she would have dissolved in tears. She had never in her life needed anyone the way she needed him at that time. Their tentative personal relationship jumped several hurdles then and had been on a whole new plane ever since.

She could only find true peace of mind in her new home. The risk of ruining that peace by introducing such a dramatic encounter was making her fearful, even now. From the start of the renovation she had sensed this place had a power she could not identify. As each stage was completed she felt the power grow. It was as if she were breathing life into a fossil animal and it was becoming something alive, wonderful and mystical as it was slowly unearthed from its stone prison. This was a long way from the normal thinking of Zoe Morton, Chief Executive Officer of a major company.
