One way or another, she had to get into that building. She was forming a habit of running from feelings. She had done it with Allen and she had done it with her family. Caution said this was a dangerous place to be and she should get out. Reason said if she left now, there would never be a solid relationship. She would always wonder.
When they reached the clearing of the lawn, Yancey waited until she came up beside him. His troubled gaze met hers. "From now on, I think it's best you stay around the house. Every time you go into the woods, you get into trouble." He turned and marched off to the house.
It wasn't something that could be denied. So much for freedom. Her gaze wandered to the path to the building. Any excursion there after today would be against his instructions, but what she planned to do there wouldn't exactly be sanctioned anyway. A search of the building would have to be done while he wasn't present. Now it was no longer a possibility. It was a plan. The only thing she needed was an opportunity.
The sun made long shadows of her figure as she walked to the house. Yancey had never mentioned the meeting with Allen. Either he hadn't seen her or he preferred not to mention it. Naturally he wouldn't say anything about his meeting with the other man. Maybe there was nothing going on, but gut instinct said there was a story here - something big.
