This chapter is just a short one because I think it needs to be in here but can't decide if it should go in the last chapter or the next one… therefore it can have its own chapter! Sorry if anyone has been reading this and is annoyed at me taking ages but exams kind of took priority. The good news is that I have no more exams. The bad news is that I'm also going on schoolies soon so I won't be writing for that reason.. though some people would most likely call that a good thing.
Aly stared at all the paperwork and groaned. She missed Dove's help with sorting out reports. She missed her intellectual conversations- working alone gave her too much scope for thinking her own thoughts. And, given the opportunity, her thoughts always turned to a subject that Aly really didn't want to think about.
It was four days since he'd come across her on the beach. Four days that Aly had spent in mental agony trying to deduce the meaning behind his words. For all her skill and training in decoding puzzles and codes she could not, for the life of her, satisfactorily work out what he meant.
What scared her more was that she couldn't decide what she wanted his meaning to be.
Shaking her head in despair Aly turned back to her notes. At least spy-keeping was relatively simple.
