CHAPTER 19

Rayne came up empty on trying to find another boat to help her catch up to Hollie, and so she took the kid up on his offer and waited until he got off at four.

She had checked in with Velma again and let her know that Hollie was likely heading their way and that she would do her best to follow him on the water.

Rayne still assumed that Hollie planned to dock the boat somewhere close by to the casino and then make his way in on foot. She wanted to stay on his trail in case he had discovered a way to get past the security measures, but in all probability, Carter Hollie would be stopped the second he walked inside the building.

While waiting for the boy, Rayne had caught up on her sleep and eaten lunch, but as four o’clock neared, she paced along the dock in front of the boy’s boat.

He grinned when he saw her anxious face.

“Don’t worry, I’ll get you there, and say, what’s your name?”

“I’m Rayne.”

“That’s a pretty name, and I’m Joe.”

A short time later, they were under way. Rayne stood beside the boy as he piloted the boat, while enjoying the rush of wind in her hair.

“This is fun. How fast are we going?”

“About thirty knots,”

Rayne smiled. “Go faster.”

The boy increased their speed, causing the boat to jounce a bit, and Rayne howled with delight.

Gail returned home from work, happier than she had been in years, after learning of Jake and Kelli’s engagement.

She entered through the kitchen door and heard voices coming from the living room. One of the voices was Tate’s, but the other was female, and when she walked into the room, she saw that Tate had brought his daughter over.

“Gail, hi, let me introduce you to my daughter, Becca.”

Rebecca Tate had an air of innocence about her that Gail felt immediately, and to her surprise, the young woman greeted her with a hug.

“You were right, Daddy, she’s beautiful.”

Becca was blond and stood a little taller than Gail. Gail knew that the girl was developmentally challenged, and had expected to meet someone less capable than most, but she had not expected to feel the sense of loving acceptance that the girl radiated towards her. Tate had told her that Gail was his friend, and to Becca Tate, that meant that she was as good as family.

Gail hugged Becca back, while smiling at Tate.

“She’s adorable, and Becca, you’re very beautiful too.”

Becca released her and grinned.

“I’m so glad that Daddy has a friend. He’s been very sad since Mommy died.”

“Your daddy has cheered me up too, sweetie, and so have you; it’s so nice to meet you.”

“Are you hungry, Gail, I cooked,” Tate said.

“I’m famished, and I skipped lunch, plus I have news, my oldest son has gotten engaged.”

“That’s fantastic, and you’ve told me how much you like his girlfriend.”

“I’ve known her since she was a child and she’s a sweetheart. I couldn’t be happier.”

They sat down for dinner, and as Gail looked around her table, she smiled, while wondering if her days of eating alone were over for good.
