Cait managed a chuckle at the hopeful expression in Grant’s dark eyes. “It’ll be a while before I can afford a trip to Cairo. Maybe one day…”
“How about next month?” From the back of the file folder, beneath the sheaf of papers and handwritten notes, Grant produced two white envelopes and handed them to Cait. “I managed to get myself an invitation to help oversee the opening of the exhibit. I’d like you to come with me.”
Speechless, Cait opened one of the envelopes and stared at the airline tickets inside. Her jaw dropped, and she managed a nervous laugh. “I’d love to go, but-”
“Mr. Greer might fire you. I know. You don’t have to decide right away, but don’t worry about a job for now.”
Cait hesitated only a second before throwing her arms around Grant’s neck. “I’ve decided. Let’s go. I want to say a proper goodbye to Khanu and Nayari.”
Grant smiled and planted a kiss on her nose. “I figured we should thank them for bringing us together. Maybe that’s their legacy. Anyone who hears their story falls in love.”
“Are you falling in love, Mr. Pierson?” Cait’s heart nearly stopped at the thought. If a concubine and a warrior could fall in love over the space of a few days, why couldn’t she and Grant?
Grant rose and scooped her up in his arms. “I think I am, Ms. Lang. I think I am.”
