Highlander Resserection Book One The Promise

Diana takes a dip

Methos was fed, showered and warm. He was sitting on the couch with a glass of wine and his journal. Duncan came out of the bathroom towel around his waist and one in his hand drying his hair.

“Hey I’ve got to go get groceries want to come along?” Duncan asked as he opened his dresser to look for clothes.

“I do not intend to move from this spot until I’m ready to go to bed.” Methos informed him.

“Suite yourself I’m going to stop by Joe’s for dinner.” Duncan offered

“Nope, I have plenty of beer and lunch meat in the fridge. Have a good time.” Methos didn’t even bother looking up from his journal.

Duncan grabbed his jacket and left. Methos listened to Duncan’s car drive away.

A couple hours later the phone rang; Methos jumped up from the couch and answered it. “Pierson.”

“Hey honey, I don’t suppose you have the address to Duncan’s barge?” Diana asked she sounded tired.

“Yes, why?” He asked concerned

“Because I’m taking a cab to the barge.” She replied

“But you’re not due until tomorrow morning and I’m picking you up remember.” Methos teased

“I managed to get an earlier flight.” Diana said “Now address please, the nice young man is waiting.”

“You’re here now?” Methos was suddenly very happy. He gave the address then went to his room to change.

Diana set her duffle bag down next to her bed on the barge. She closed her eyes and relaxed into the feel of the barge moving beneath her. Diana could feel the tension of the morning leaving her. She really hated to fly.

Methos poked his head into the bedroom “Good you’re still awake. I made some soup and sandwiches. Come eat, it will help with the jet lag.”

“Ok, I’ll be right there just let me freshen up.” Diana said Methos walked back into the living area of the barge.

Methos was humming while he made up the plates for lunch when Duncan walked into the barge grocery bags piled in his arms.

“Nice to see someone is in a good mood.” Duncan greeted walking into the kitchen.

“I’ve told you before I’m easily amused.” Methos stated with a big smile.

“Hmm amused, I don’t think it’s amusement old man. I think it’s love.” Duncan teased, “So when did Diana get in?”

“She arrived about an hour ago. She’ll be out in a minute.” Methos answered as he put the food on the table.

Diana came out a few moments later “Oh Duncan I didn’t hear you come in.” She said as she sat down to eat.

“I’m afraid you and Joe are at a slight disadvantage. Mac here relies on our immortal doorbell to announce him.” Methos teased

Duncan ignored Methos “So how was your flight?” He asked as he sat down at the table.

“Long and stressful. We hit turbulence every fifteen minutes. By the time we got here I was a wreak.” Diana stated “But I’m much better now that I’m firmly on the ground again.”
