The Hundred Year Wait (13 page)

Clever Girl

Amelia couldn't
decide whether to laugh or get angry. All that work and effort for
such a short message, and she knew exactly what condescending tone
he'd have said it in as well. It was a message meant to irritate
anyone who didn't understand Myron and his nature.

It didn't take her
long to decide it was funny. Most importantly she'd solved another
task and hopefully he'd had a moment of enjoyment from her indirect
beg for more information. Although she'd been reluctant to refer to
herself as a pet again, especially a dog, she knew it would amuse
him given the way an owner might say clever girl to a dog learning
to do tricks. She tapped out a response that would let him know
she'd worked out the answer while also letting him know it hadn't
annoyed her.

Apparently I'm rather
smart, and also young enough to be thought of as a girl.

Only a few seconds
later she had a reply.

Well done, you've
successfully jumped through hoop one. The next stage of your
lessons will begin soon. And you shouldn't be drinking caffeine at
this time of night. Go to bed, Amelia, you're going to need the
sleep.

A grin spread
across her face as she rushed to do as he said.

Jess was born
in the quaint village of Woodbridge in the UK, has spent some of
her childhood in the States and now resides near the beautiful
Roman city of Bath. She lives with her husband, Phil, and her very
dapsy cat, Pleaides.

During her
still relatively short life Jess has displayed an innate curiosity
for learning new things and has therefore studied many subjects,
from maths and the sciences, to history and drama. Jess now works
full time as a writer, incorporating many of the subjects she has
an interest in within her plots and characters.

When she's not
working she can often be found with friends, enjoying a vast array
of films, ice skating or trekking all over the English
countryside.
