“I thought your father was going to dive with us?” Luke said as he donned his wetsuit.

“I did too. But apparently, he couldn’t bring himself to meet my terms,” Undine said.

“What were they?” he asked. She’d been quiet when he and Trey returned to the cabin and hadn’t even groused when he dragged her to the gym after their run.

She shrugged. “It doesn’t matter.”

For the first time, Luke found the limits on their undefined relationship constricting. If they were a true couple, he could push her to open up. But a temporary fling held no such rights. She could cut herself off emotionally, and he had no room to complain.

He pulled her against him. “How serious was your relationship with Trey?” She’d told him once that she’d never been in love. Had she lied? And why did the idea that she might have cared for the prick grate so much?

“On my end, not serious at all. On his end, he said he loved me. But only because he was worried I’d return to the institute and steal his job.”

“Asshole,” Luke said.

“Yep. He actually did the thing my father accuses you of, and my dad turned a blind eye.”

“Because you were older.”

“Yeah. But to me, what Trey did was far worse than anything you did.”

“That’s because I’m amazing, while he’s a dickhead.”

He got the laugh he was hoping for, and she rose up on her toes and kissed him. “You’re amazing drenched in double chocolate awesomesauce.”

“Careful. You know what that does to my ego.”

She smiled. “I’m counting on it.”

Thank God for cold water, because otherwise the documentary would have some ridiculous footage given the snug fit of his wetsuit.

“Let’s get this over with,” she said.

They grabbed their remaining gear to meet with the film crew, including the director, Diego Ojeda, who’d been filming Stefan Gray’s work for fifteen years. Diego and his cameraman, Mario, were probably as knowledgeable about marine biology as anyone on the boat.

Diego wanted a series of water shots first, with both Undine and Luke fully outfitted for scuba. They didn’t dive below twenty feet, so there was no need for recompression. As Stefan had promised, all they wanted were random clips of them both in the water. B-roll shots taken while the light was good.

Back on deck, Diego asked them to answer a few questions, speaking directly in the camera while they froze their asses off in their saturated wetsuits. “It’s because you look too damn good in a wetsuit, Sevick,” Undine said with a snicker. “If you ate more butter and cut down on the exercise, they wouldn’t want you for cutaways.”

Luke couldn’t resist and grabbed her by the waist and pulled her onto his lap. He kissed her neck and whispered in her ear, “No way am I getting rid of these guns you love so much.”

“You two are dating?” Mario asked. “That’s cool. Can we include that in the documentary? Viewers love it when things get personal.”

Undine stiffened against Luke. “No,” she said firmly as she pushed up from his lap.
