Chapter 22- Jane Visits the Past
Jane
Yelping in surprise, I suddenly find myself fully clothed and half submerged in the tub. Ethan’s strong arms are around me for the second time this evening as he cuddles me close, sending all sorts of confusing feelings through my body.
“I thought the idea was to clean things up, not make a bigger mess.” Linda’s amused voice sounded from the doorway.
| glance at Ethan, who is now sound asleep again, clutching me to his chest as if I’m a teddy bear. “Stop teasing and help me!” I hiss at Linda, trying and failing to wriggle free.
It takes both of us to untangle me from Ethan’s arms, with Linda laughing the entire time despite my frequent glares. “The doctor’s on his way.” Linda announced when I’m finally free. “And Ethan could probably use a few items from the penthouse.

“I’m afraid Ethan’s been hurt.” I explain softly.
“What!?” She cries, pressing her hand to her chest.
“He fell and hit his head. The doctor is seeing him now, at my
friend Linda’s, but I need to get him some fresh clothes and toi letries for the meantime.” I sigh.
“What on earth is he doing at Linda’s?” Eve demands, “How did he fall?”
I can answer, a dignified woman comes gliding down the hall. She’s beautiful despite her advanced years,

I deny smoothly, “I’m Elise Carrington,
