Chapter 44
When she came out of the room, she had no idea how much had passed, nor did she care. All she could think about was talking to Ceara.
"Why didn't you tell me?" Jessie asked the second she saw Ceara sitting on a small stepping stool outside the supply room. "How could you have kept something like that from me?"
Ceara rose and took Jessie by the arm. "It's been hours. We must be off."
"How could you not to tell me?"
"We can talk about it at the beach house. A friend of mine is off visiting her mother and I am house sitting. Let's go there and talk. According to Tanner, your parents are still out of town, so you're safe for the time being. Tanner will let us know when they're on the way back."
"Tanner again? Who's he? Merlin?"
Ceara grinned softly. "Not quite, but I advise you never to underestimate him or his abilities."
"Abilities?" Jessie groaned. "Do I want to hear this?"
"Hush yourself, my dear. Hurry along now."
