I quickly typed back my reply.
Me: Amazing! We found an area that looks to have been a structure of some sort. We got one pot out, and there is another piece that looks like part of a sword maybe.
Hollie: Ohhh, that sounds interesting. So, not just a gravesite?
Laughing, I shook my head.
Me: Nope. I’m hoping we can make at least one more discovery before we lose daylight.
Hollie: I have a feeling you’re going to make a pretty big one, maybe even two.
My heart jumped. Had she had a vision?
Me: What makes you say that?
When my phone rang, I jumped.
“Hey, is everything okay?” I asked. Hollie never called when I was at the site.
“Turn around and make your first discovery.”
Confused, I turned and saw her standing by one of the tents. Her long, brown hair was in a ponytail, but it whipped in the wind as she lifted her hand and waved.
“You’re here! You’re not supposed to be for another week.”
She chuckled. “I didn’t want to wait another week.”
“I’ll be right there.”
Hitting End, I turned to Matt and Ryan. “I’m taking a break. My fiancé is here a week early.”
Ryan grinned. “Dude, take the rest of the day off. We don’t have much sun left anyway.”
Nodding, I said, “I might just do that.”
“Perks of being the boss,” Matt said with a wink.
I quickly walked toward Hollie, fighting the urge to sprint. The last thing I wanted was for everyone to see me running toward her, even though that was all I wanted to do.
Stopping in front of her, I watched her blue eyes catch my brown.
“You’re here.”
She smiled. “I’m here.”
I drew her to me and hugged her, picking her up and spinning her around. The sound of her laughter filled my heart with so much joy.
“Is everything okay at home?”
She nodded. “Well, at your mom’s birthday party the other day, your Aunt Nancy showed everyone her flamingo dance. She truly is convinced she was one in a prior life. She even asked me if I read tarot cards and could tell her if I saw her in another life.”
I rolled my eyes.
“Come on, I’m taking the rest of the day off. You’re probably exhausted.”
She smiled slightly and said, “Yeah, I could try and eat something. I haven’t been feeling all myself lately.”
With her hand in mine, we walked through the tent. “What’s wrong? Stressed about the move?”
