Chapter Nine

“Open your eyes, Satyanna,” Harry whispered.

She fumbled with the blindfold and pulled it down on her face. For the past couple hours Harry had been in mysterious mode, and she wasn’t sure that was good or bad.

When her gaze landed at the yacht anchored at Santa Monica pier, she frowned. Harry had explained beforehand he’d be doing some business in California, and she didn’t imagine he’d have much time for her, which was fine. Just knowing he’d helped her out of that dreadful youth house six months ago should have been enough. Life with him wasn’t perfect, but at least she’d be able to finish school and even think about college.

The breeze caressed her face, and she was glad her hair had been in a bun—a suggestion from Harry. Never in her life had anyone cared what she wore or how she looked. So why not give him the satisfaction of seeing her all prim and proper with a sleek do and long red dress? “What’s happening?”

“Remember how you told me once you never went to a father-daughter dance?”

Satyanna nodded. Did he even remember? She had mentioned on a day she had foolishly experimented with some of his liquor. Drinking wasn’t really her thing, and she was under the drinking age. Although Harry wasn’t a man who abhorred illegal activities, he had been mad at her for drinking. Like it was wrong and he…cared about her. “I remember.”

“Well, I had a meeting with a fellow who owns this yacht. And he told me I should take it for a ride before buying it. So we’re doing it in style, Satyanna,” he said, and gave her his arm.

She hesitated for a second, and then took his arm. They walked on the deck, and the closer she got to the beautiful boat, the more vivid details drew her in. There was a DJ in a small booth, a cold-cut buffet, and a few other people aboard. “Who are these people?”

“I thought it would be more fun to have company.”

He slipped his hand inside his tux and retrieved a pink rose.

Her throat clogged. “Why…why are you doing all this?”

A smile formed on his lips. “Because I never attended a father-daughter dance either.”

Satyanna shook her head, willing the memory away. Was it wrong to remember the good things Harry provided her in the past? Yes it was, because she’d learned later he never borrowed that yacht per se.

Don’t dwell on it. Focus on the good. She kissed the top of Lyanna’s head. They had been together for a few hours, but her heart squeezed with joy, and tears threatened to spill from her eyes every time she held her daughter. She’d checked the nursery room for items she needed, and found them all handy. Clothes, diapers, wipes, and cans of baby formula. She never got to breastfeed her baby. In the midst of all that happiness, Leonardo’s drawl rang in her ears. With or without your help.

Now that they had Lyanna with them,
