Leonora remained in her room all evening. It was well after midnight. Tigif and the female named Carol Ann were sure to be in their rooms by now. She decided it was safe to exit for a glass of water.

Carol Ann had tried to pry out of Leonora information about the aliens and what sort of relationship they had with Rick. Neither asking nor answering any questions, Leonora had feigned a dizzy spell and allowed Tigif to carry her to her room.

She tiptoed across the tiled floors, down the short hallway that led to the kitchen. Her eyes easily adjusted to the darkness, facilitating her progress. She heard someone entering through the glass sliding doors from the beach entrance. Leonora hid in the shadows behind a potted palm tree. Tugging one large leaf down, she saw it was Rick.

She needed to speak to him. She was about to make herself known when she noticed he headed to a closed door. His bedroom perhaps. She decided to wait until Rick was inside, then she could speak to him privately.

All the things she wanted to say to him, all the ways she had practiced in saying them vanished the instant Carol Ann exited the room Rick headed for.

“Carol Ann.”

“Rick, I’ve missed you.” Carol Ann threw herself into his arms. Rick lifted her and gave her a big bear hug.

Pain, anger, and bitterness seized a hold of Leonora’s heart. The sight of Carol Ann in Rick’s arms caused her nails to extend into sharp talons. She did not want Carol Ann anywhere near Rick, especially when the woman seemed unable to find something decent to wear.

At first, Leonora thought Carol Ann was the one responsible for the love bite on Rick’s neck and the lipstick on his shirt. Then she remembered that the two scents were not the same. What could it mean? She refused to believe Rick was that sort of male.

“I’ve missed you, too, sweetheart.” Rick tenderly kissed both her cheeks and embraced her again. “More than you will ever know.”

Leonora emitted a low growl. What did this woman dressed in a silky lingerie mean to Rick?

“Darling, what’s wrong?”

Leonora stopped growling. Her mouth dropped open. Darling. Sweetheart. It cannot be true! There has to be a logical explanation behind all this. Perhaps she is only a friend—the friend who gave him the medicine. She refused to give up hope. She had sensed it from the beginning. Rick was her soul mate. She will not give him up without concrete evidence.

“Everything,” Rick answered. His hands had not moved from Carol Ann’s waist. “We need to be alone.”

“Come inside.”

No! Leonora watched the horried scene of another female taking Rick by the hand and leading him to her bedroom. Tears sprung into her eyes. She gasped for breath. How could I have been so stupid? She released the leaf. How could I have not known? She sunk to the ground. A male as beautiful as Rick had to have a mate somewhere. Her tears fell.
