about the helmet at the historical society. I'll see if I can dig up a copy of that for you, too."
    "Thanks, and I hope tonight goes well for you."
    Matt stood as she left and watched her go. He noticed he wasn't the only one whose attention she caught. He wondered if he'd see her the following day. Strangely, he found himself hoping he would. He was sure it was just the novelty factor of her not knowing who he was. Well, that and she was pretty easy on the eyes.  
    He finished the rest of his drink and turned toward the bar. What was he doing? She might not come back to the museum, and he had no way of seeing her again. Slamming his glass back on the table, he headed for the door and after her. He told himself it was because of the dream. But even if he hadn't thought it might be her, he'd have followed her anyway. Running to catch up with her, she turned as she heard him.
    "Matt? Is everything okay?"
    "Everything's fine. I just realised I should walk you home."
    She laughed as she shook her head. "I think I can manage to find my way home, but thanks."
    "I'm sure you can, but I brought you to the pub, so the least I can do is walk you home," he said as he fell in step beside her.
    She turned down Green Street and glanced at him. He looked like a cross between a country gentlemen and a professor in some stuffy old university. He was attractive in a geeky kind of way. Not her type, though. No, her type wouldn't offer to walk her home when he barely knew her.
    "So, you never told me what you will be talking about tonight."
    "Oh, it's about William Altenbury, and how he built Altenbury Hall. It's the–“
    "Huge, old house out by the fields where I walk Barney. It looks beautiful. I imagine it's even more beautiful inside. Do you know the Altenburys?"
    "You could say that."
    "I mean, everybody's heard of the Altenburys, since they're like royalty in this village, but I've never met them."
    "I think royalty is a bit of an exaggeration," he said as she stopped walking. "You live here?"
    "Yes. You seem surprised, again."
    "This was my gran's cottage, that's all."
    "Oh. Wait, does that mean you're my landlord then?"
    "No, not really. The house is held in trust. Don't you know who your landlord is?"
    "Erm, technically, no. My dad sorted the house rental out for me." She turned as she heard scratching against the front door. "I better go before he does some damage. After all, I don't want to get on the wrong side of my landlord."
    "Good night, Emma."
    "Good night ... and thanks for walking me home."
    He waited until she went inside then walked slowly back to the pub. Of course, she knew who the Altenburys were; everyone around here did. She just didn't know that he was one. Would it make a difference to her? He hoped not. He tried hard not to be like his parents, didn't really consider himself an Altenbury in any way, except by name.

CHAPTER SEVEN

    Barney settled into his bed as Emma put her cup into the sink, looking out over the partially lit back garden where the light spilled out from the kitchen window. The branches of the trees were sparse and the few remaining leaves were already turning yellow in the autumn coolness October had brought. The lack of leaves reminded her of the lack of friends she still had. She hadn't got around to looking up any of her old friends from Stydon or high school. Her neighbours, while nice, were elderly, and she didn't have much in common with them.  
    That left her with her family. She had been avoiding her sister and, if she was honest, putting off going back to see her parents. The thought of winter's imminent coldness made her feel melancholy and had her turning from the window. No cosy nights in for two, snuggled up on the sofa with the cold, harsh world shut out behind the curtains. Well, I have Barney, at least, she thought as she switched off the kitchen light.  
    As she headed to the stairs, her thoughts turned to Matt. She had seen him a few times around the village briefly since the
