HOLIDAY

“I think you’d make a great dad.” I raise my voice to compete with the roar of the wind.

Driver leapt into action when I suggested driving, hustling back through the resort to a small parking lot away from the guest section. “Take your pick.” He made an expansive gesture at the six cars in the lot.

I don’t know anything about cars, but they looked…expensive. Paint shining. Sleek curves. Powerful engines, I’m sure.

“Are all these yours?”

“These belong to the resort. I’d take you in my personal vehicle, but I wanted to impress you.” His eyes sparkle.

I chose a red convertible.

“Wow,” Driver said. “I wouldn’t have pegged you for the convertible type.”

“I’m feeling wild today. What can I say?”

Now we’re out on the winding highway outside Ruby Bay, and Driver blinks. “You do?”

“I wasn’t only looking at your body at the pool today.”

He grins. “Could’ve fooled me.” Driver takes one hand off the wheel and reaches for mine. He rubs his thumb over the back of my hand and and lets it go again.

“Both hands on the wheel. See? That’s what I like about you.”

His grip tightens, then relaxes. “Sometimes I think it’d be nice to be one of those guys who can drive one-handed. But I like to be in control.” He cuts a glance toward me. “Of the car.”

Of everything.

“Why’d you want to come driving with me, Hol?” It sends a thrill down my spine, the familiarity of that nickname. On Driver’s lips it sounds like we’ve known each other forever.

“Because I have things I want to say to you, and I thought it would be better if we were driving.”

“Say ’em.”

“Okay.” I focus on the road ahead of us. “I don’t know what to do, and I’m hoping you can help me.”

“About the baby?”

“No. That’s decided. I’m having the baby,” I say firmly.

Driver laughs. “That’s the impression I got.” His expression sobers. “You’re wondering about me, then. About what we’re going to do.”

He guides the car around a gentle curve in the road, his body utterly relaxed. This isn’t so bad. Letting him steer…it’s not so bad.

But it is. Of course it is. If I let Driver have his way, I’ll lose my only chance to get out of the routine I’ve been in for so many years. I don’t want to let it go, but if I stay…

Not that staying is an option. I’m seized by the bright hope that he’ll ask me to move into his house on the club side of the resort right now and make everything easier, but what would I be giving up if I did that?

My job at Windspire. The chance to make tons of industry contacts. The chance to be published.

I can’t let all that go.

“How are we going to do this from two different places?” I ask him, knowing in my heart that it’ll always be two different places. Looking at him right now tells me what I need to know—that being on the go, that being behind the wheel and cruising down the highway—that’s as much a part of Driver as anything else.
