“NOT SURE I heard you correctly. You want to go swimming with sharks
on our last day here?” Thinly concealed fear underlies my question.
Johnny arches a brow as a sly smirk graces his handsome face.
Reaching for the slim flute of champagne, he points the glass toward the
pamphlet I’m holding. “I almost suggested it for day one, but seeing how
you’re squeamish about half of the items on that list, I thought I’d go easy
on you, babe.”
“Sharks are easy to you?” I stare open-mouthed at the man, his
Cheshire-like grin expanding.
Dr. Johnny Hawk looks danger in the eye and tries to eat it for
breakfast. Opposite of me in every way. From hair color—mahogany brown
—to how he takes his coffee. Black like a maniac.
The last two months with him have been a whirlwind. Hard to forget the
fancy dinners at upscale restaurants, lavish black and white fundraising
parties, and where we’re currently vacationing, St. Barts, a beautiful
paradise meant to make you long for balmy nights year-round. Even in
September, the sticky air mists our skin with dew well after the sun has set.
The ritzy hotel reminds me of a rags to riches movie. We flew onto the
island in first class, where I had room for my legs to stretch out. For a girl
from a small, southern Indiana town, it’s a lot to take in.
The sea breeze ruffles my hair—cropped in a long bob above my
shoulders. I settle a flyaway behind my ear and glance again at the itinerary.
The man likes his lists. Surprising for his spontaneous attitude toward
life.
“How about the sea glass hunting? That sounds fun,” I ask, hoping he’ll
bite.
Parasailing yesterday was a bit much, so the idea of getting even an inch
close to a man-eating mammal makes the champagne churn in my stomach.
“It’s totally safe. They have a cage surrounding us and professionals on
standby.”
How can he be so nonchalant about this? “What, just in case one tries to
eat us for a snack?”
“Well, if you weren’t so pint-size,” he jests, tossing back the rest of his
drink before signaling to the server for more.
I huff in silence. Johnny’s been nothing but good this entire vacation,
encouraging me to try new things and get me out of my comfort zone. He
said he was trying to get the small town out of the girl. And he’s right, I
need this.
But sharks? Really?
His phone rings and he flips it over. “Sorry, babe, it’s work. I’ll be just a
minute.” He stands and answers, facing toward the evening ocean view he
secured us.
Johnny said he wouldn’t take calls on vacation, but I guess being an
oncologist means you’re always at the ready. That’s at least one thing we
have in common—caring about our patients.
I sigh and twirl my glass while I watch him.
Johnny’s a handsome guy for a thirty-year-old at the top of his game.
His hair is still thick and shiny, the subtle highlights from the sun not visible
