“Hope to see you later then.” Liam walked away with Rae, his voice drifting back to Jack. Liam asked Rae how her interview with Dr. Brand had gone.

Jack could see those two were meant for each other. He’d heard a quick summary of their story from Rae. They’d overcome a huge struggle and found their way back to each other.

Their story resonated with him, but he struggled to hold out hope for him and Terra—they were too far gone, and it had been too long. Who was he kidding? Terra probably wasn’t even on the same page as Jack was, or even interested in opening up that book with Jack. In fact, what was he even doing thinking along those lines?

Either way, he didn’t like the idea of her spending time alone with Dr. Brand, a man with whom she had no story. Right.

THIRTY-NINE

Terra had followed Jeremy into what he’d clearly designated as his private yurt. But before she and Jeremy could talk, a lovely young woman peeked inside to ask for his help. Jeremy stepped out with her, leaving Terra inside. She waited at a table where dirt-covered artifacts were laid out next to a box. Jeremy’s crew was obviously packing up the site, preparing for the winter, and then would probably come back next summer.

She stared at the items on the table, the stacked papers and tools, but her thoughts were on Jack and his reaction when he’d first seen Rae Burke. His eyes had lit up, and Terra’s gut reaction had been jealousy.

Jealousy. She needed to come to terms with the fact that she might still have strong feelings for the man or that whatever she’d laid to rest before had not completely died, and his sudden appearance back in her life served to reignite their past. Whatever. She detested the confused feelings wrestling inside her.

“Terra?” Jack called from outside.

“I’m in here.” She lifted the tarp attached to the domed tent, and he spotted her. “Over here.”

He picked up his pace and stepped inside. “Where is he?”

Jeremy entered behind Jack and smiled. “Were you looking for me? I’m here. I apologize. One of my students had a question.”

Terra couldn’t help but wonder if Jeremy was in a romantic relationship with the beautiful woman. She shoved the thought far from her. Not her business. She didn’t care. And interestingly enough, her relationship with Dr. Brand had been more recent than her romance with Jack, and no jealousy had surged when Jeremy spoke with the woman who appeared slightly enamored with her professor.

“Did you bring it?” Jeremy asked.

Terra realized both men were staring at her. Special Agent Terra Connors to Earth. She opened her bag and pulled out the box containing the artifact.
