“You’re insane and have absolutely no survival skills whatsoever.”

Probably, but he knew Elizabeth.

She loved it just as much as he did. If she didn’t, he’d be dead already. Deep down, if you could amuse the savage boss beast, you were in like Flynn.

When she looked at her watch, Gabby was curious as to when they were going to get this started. She wanted to take in some sights while here.

But work came first.

“Ready to head down?” she asked. “I’m just your assistant,” she admitted.

He grinned.

Nothing made him happier than working on a new set of bones.

“Of course, I am,” he said, as they closed his door and headed down the stairs to the kitchen. They could hear banging not far away, and that meant that the tower had workmen dealing with the construction.

From the dusty debris, they were pulling down barriers that kept the tower blocked off.

In the kitchen, they found Graham behind the island, and as soon as he saw them, he began pouring coffee for both of them.

“Morning,” Gabby said, cheerfully.

Graham was curious.

“I hope you slept well,” he said. Last night, the castle had been unsettled. He could hear doors slamming, and music. Honestly, he didn’t think either of the two people were partying.

They both sat.

“I had some wild dreams,” Gabby admitted. “It must have been the jet lag. I couldn’t get out of one of my dreams and wake up.”

That was alarming.

To get them caffeinated to start their day, Graham put the coffees down in front of them.

“This castle does creak and make noises,” he said. “Maybe that influenced your dream.”

Maybe.

Gabby was still unnerved by it, and the stranger she’d seen in her dream. Honestly, she wouldn’t mind dreaming about him again.

“What can I make you for breakfast?” he asked.

Gabby waved her hand dismissing that idea. There was no way she could eat.

“Pass. I’m good. I’m a coffee girlie,” she admitted, as Graham picked up her dog. “I live on adrenaline and caffeine.”

“Same,” Anthony said.

That was fine by him.

“Well, there are some scones that were delivered from the local bakery. I’ll leave them here on the counter in case you need some sustenance.”

That worked for them.

Beside her, Tony was edgy.

“Why are you fidgeting?” she asked him.
