Chapter Fourteen

Roxie looked down at the picnic basket resting on the sand at her feet and checked her watch. He was late. Fifteen minutes late and Mitch was always on time. Always had been. Rolling her shoulders back, she looked out across the ocean. The evening sun was low in the sky, casting a deep orange glow across the water.

Elsie might be right, being friends first may well be a good grounding to a relationship. It had worked for her and Ian. No one could deny that. She’d mentioned to Molly that afternoon about Elsie’s theory and Molly had said Elsie and Ian had only been together for just over a year. A year! And already they were married! Roxie hadn’t seen that coming. The way they acted towards one another, the love in their eyes. She’d assumed they’d been a couple of decades, not friends for decades.

Yes, being friends first might just be a good thing. The only problem facing them would be when Harvey found out about them and how he would react. She grimaced.

‘Hey!’

Jumping, Roxie held her hand against her heart as she turned around to see who had wrapped their hands around her. ‘Mitch! Do you actually want to give me a heart attack?’

‘Ha-ha, that I definitely do not. It was worth it just to see your face, though.’ Keeping his hands around her waist, Mitch kissed her on her neck.

‘Umm, well, it won’t be as much fun when I get you back.’ Laughing, she batted him away and turned to face him. ‘Are you ready for our picnic?’

‘One hundred percent ready. I forgot to get lunch, so I’m absolutely starving.’

‘You forgot to get lunch? How can you forget lunch?’ She waited until he’d picked up the picnic basket before slipping her hand into his and leading the way towards the edge of the beach.

‘Where is it we’re going?’

‘To a secret cove. Just around the cliff.’ She nodded towards the sliver of sand they could see snaking around the bottom of the cliff.

‘Perfect.’
