We got to Voda, a busy seaside town that bustled with tourists and beachgoers, late in the afternoon. The sea wasn’t quite as beautiful as it had been in Greece, but it was lovely and I sighed happily as I stared out at the water.

“Can we walk on the shore tonight?” I asked him as he pulled into the bed and breakfast a few streets over from the water.

“Absolutely.” He grabbed my hand and our suitcase, and we went inside.

“This is lovely,” I said after we checked in and got to our room. It was on the third floor of a gorgeous Mediterranean-style house that overlooked the sea. Our room had a balcony with a wonderful view, a four-poster bed, and the biggest bathtub I’d ever seen. “Oh my god…people have bathtubs this big?”

“Apparently.” Axel had come in behind me. “We’ve showered together but we’ve never bathed together. You want to try it out?”

“I do but I’m hungry,” I said. “Can we eat first?”

“Of course. Do you like sushi?”

I hesitated. “I’ve never tried it, but I’m willing.”

“Yet another first,” he said, sliding an arm around my shoulders as we headed back out. We walked out of the house and onto the street, our hands moving together. I loved when he laced his fingers through mine. We fit so well together, and this was our first time going away together, something that was giving me all the warm fuzzies.

“Tell me about sushi. I know the basics, of course, but what will I like about it?”

“I don’t know,” he admitted. “You might hate it, but I have a feeling you’re going to love it all.”

“I’ve read the tuna is very mild and California rolls include rice and are very popular. That’s the extent of my knowledge.”

“California rolls were actually created in Canada,” he said. “And there are so many options. It’s not all raw fish, though. Sushi can be cooked as well.”

“I’m so confused,” I said with a grin. “But this will be an adventure.”

We went to a nice restaurant near the beach and I felt a little foolish as I looked around. I’d never imagined we had sushi restaurants in Limaj. I spent a lot of my time reading and studying things about the world online, but it was hard to look for things you didn’t know anything about. Fancy restaurants and beachside fantasies were in other places, not here in my own country.

“You look thoughtful,” Axel said as we sat down.

“I was just thinking how little I truly know of the world outside Vinake.”

“That’s not your fault,” he said. “You’ve been sheltered, with no chance to travel or have high-level education, living in a small town with limited access to the world. I think you’re extraordinary. Teaching yourself computers—enough to impress Jonas—and now helping out at the school. You’re pretty amazing, Solange.”

Someone poured us wine and I met his gaze across the table.

“What drew you to me?” I asked quietly. “We met under stressful circumstances, and I understand the lure
