Lord Hayden shook his head.
Elizabeth smiled quietly. "I’ve never seen such strength coupled with such gentleness and tenderness. No wonder evil can never truly triumph against Him."
"Let’s go, Grace. Let’s go home. The Ark belongs to God."
They would never reveal the secret of the Ark's location nor that of the Lost City of the Incas. They were leaving behind many unanswered questions, and the Ark. They would pick up an artifact or two as they fled the city, but these would be trivial to the two important truths they took with them. For Lord Hayden, first, how much he loved this woman called Grace Quinlan, beyond any of all of his archaeological pursuits. That truth surprised him to no end. He was bonded to her body and soul. He had ample proof that she was his soul mate, and no other woman could ever take her place. And second, the knowledge of the source of the Ark’s power and the reality of that source. This ultimate discovery would color every moment of his life from hereon, making archeology all the more special for him, for the Creator of all things was the greatest archaeologist of them all. Lord Hayden felt very humble.
Humble, and grateful as well for whatever time was granted him with his soul mate. He hoped this time Grace would accept his proposal to spend the rest of her life with him. But he suspected she was not ready yet to commit herself to him fully. Just as he suspected she would return with him to the Coast and then, as before, quietly disappear, leaving him a small note admitting her true devotion, and promising to return to his side on his next archaeological pursuit. This time he shelved his anger and nurtured his hope. He was certain to collaborate with her again during winter recess. Grace’s cousin, Professor Elizabeth Eldridge, his link to Grace, would inform her of his plans. Until Grace Quinlan decided otherwise, he had no choice but to accept her terms of their relationship. She belonged to him, and he to her throughout eternity, and whether in this life or others, they would come together again. Desperately he prayed she would become his wife in this life.
