“I want to work on it now.”
“I know.” She took Jesse’s hand and squeezed it lightly. “But it’s the middle of the night and I’m an old woman. I need my sleep.”
“I’m right, though, right?”
“Yes, I think you are. But Jesse…don’t get too excited. It’s a step in the right direction, but it’s not going to solve everything.”
“But I’m right.” Jesse straightened. “We’re going to work on this in the morning. Right after breakfast. And we’re not going to stop until we have everything figured out.”
“That’s fine.”
“Tell me what I need to do to find more information about Castelain.” He began to pace. “Books. Anything. I’ll go to the store and get them right now if I need to.”
“Jesse?”
“What?”
Michelle sat up. “Go to bed. Get some sleep. I’ll go to the store in the morning.”
“I can’t get some sleep.”
“You need to. Because if you don’t, you’re going to work yourself into a frenzy.”
“If Gideon were here, he’d say the same thing.”
