Parting is such sweet sorrow,

That I shall say good night till it be morrow

– Romeo and Juliet

Juliet lay curled up on his bed, her body illuminated by a shaft of moonlight. He stared at her face, following the curves of her profile with his eyes, imagining capturing them in a photograph, one that was only meant for him. They were both naked. He’d cranked the heating up enough for neither of them to feel the chill they’d had on the boat.

She mumbled in her sleep, turning over, and he glanced at the clock beside his bed. The illuminated numbers told him it was almost one in the morning. If only he could stop his mind from racing and join her in sleep. Instead thoughts were rushing through him like a river down a waterfall, crashing against his skull until he acknowledged their existence.

Good thoughts – ones about Juliet, the way she’d kissed him on the boat, and the lightness in her smile when she’d teased him. He’d seen a different side of her today, and he’d been so damn pleased that she’d finally made a move.

But there were darker thoughts, too. He blinked, trying to take the memory of that For Sale sign out of his mind, but it stubbornly remained. His stomach dropped at the thought of it. Of what the money men would do to that piece of real estate once they got their hands on it.

Trying not to wake Juliet up, he rolled to the edge of the mattress, and climbed out of the bed, pulling his shorts on. He padded down the wooden hallway in his bare feet, then down the stairs and into the kitchen, where he poured himself a glass of water.

The cold liquid soothed his parched lips as he emptied the tumbler, then refilled it, carrying it into the living room. Opening his MacBook, he clicked on the Internet, quickly searching for Within and Cross, the realtors who were trying to sell the wharf. He found them almost right away. The listing for the wharf was on their front page, and he clicked on the ‘more information’ link to see what they had to say.

Development Opportunity.

This old-fashioned wharf has been part of Shaw Haven since the 1760s. Originally a merchant port, this has now become the playground of the rich, and is ripe for redevelopment. With permission for a hotel and leisure complex, plus easy access to all major routes and to Baltimore Airport, we don’t expect this to be available for long. All enquiries to Within and Cross, by telephone, email or in person to our Baltimore offices.
