Chapter 13: Taking a Trip

Helina made breakfast the next morning and Chase was his usual self. There was no sign of the harried or unpleasant man he’d been yesterday. He was already dressed when he sat at the table in a gray suit and a red tie. She loved that red tie.

Anywhere was interesting since she’d never been out of Duncan’s Woods until recently. Maybe there was a whole world out there that she could discover. She’d never had any wanderlust.

“How far away is it?” she asked.

He waved a hand. “We’ll take the company jet. We’ll stay overnight and we’ll be having dinner with some of the key people in the company.”
