It wasn’t the same without someone to talk to, and the construction guys didn’t really care to have chitchat.
Construction was approved for the wall in the crypt, and they’d be starting in a day or two. Honestly, he was curious what was behind that stone wall.
Was Ciarán buried back there, or was it his bones in the water? For now, the ones they could retrieve had been carefully placed in the crypt inside the empty vault.
Well, what they could find.
Supposedly, the Blackhawks were going to send someone who was a spectacular diver, and who would be going down in that water to find the ghostINthe lake.
Yeah, good luck to him.
That was terrifying.
It was crystal clear that someone was going to not have a good time doing that. Honestly, he was grateful it wasn’t him.
Well, at least he’d have company.
There was that.
When he heard the kitchen door opening behind him, Graham realized that the new guest had finally arrived. That made him feel better.
Until he saw him.
And he knew he had a slew of problems.
The figure that entered the castle was very familiar. He was big, bulky, and a flash from his past.
Oh, and Graham hadn’t expected to see him.
EVER.
AGAIN.
It stole his breath as they both stood there.
“D’Artangnan?” Graham asked as the dish he was holding fell from his fingers and shattered into a million pieces on the floor at his feet.
Oh, and from the look on his face, Graham wasn’t the only one shocked.
“I don’t understand,” Graham whispered, his heart thumping so fast in his chest.
Well, that was both of them.
Saint Michael of the Blackhawks was caught off guard too, and for a few reasons. No one called him that, but Elizabeth, and secondly…
There was a ghost standing before him.
The ghost of relationships past and the first man he’d ever loved with all of his heart.
And the first man to break it into a million pieces.
Yeah, this was the last thing he expected when coming here. What he’d expected was to have some alone time as he babysat a castle for Callen and Chris and went diving for some bones.
