Chapter Eleven

“I don’t care if it’s dormant. We are not having your brother’s wedding there.” Kate shook her head. Luke and she had returned from the East Maui Volcano at Haleakala National Park and were walking along the beach boardwalk near their hotel.

“Come on, Kate.” Luke waved his hands in the air. “Picture this. Just before Drew says I do, the volcano begins to erupt.”

“Ha, ha. Not going to happen.”

“I’m sure Drew would love it.”

“And Lauren would kill me.” She laughed. “It’s a lovely backdrop, but no. With my luck it would erupt.”

He smiled. “All right. You win. How about some ice cream?” He pointed to a vendor.

“I can’t turn down free ice cream.”

“Who says yours is free?”

Luke stepped up to the vendor and ordered. She took the opportunity to steal a glance at him. In a light blue polo and khakis, he looked so handsome.

Her perfect escort for the day. Annie had called earlier apologizing for having to cancel their visit to the private cove until tomorrow. That was fine by Kate. She arranged for Luke to get his tux measurements at a tuxedo shop suggested by Annie. She wasn’t going to lie. Seeing Luke fill out a tux had been the absolute best part of her day.

After that, they had toured the island visiting Plan B venues should the private cove not be to her liking.

It had been such a great day. She didn’t want it to end. Luke was fun to be around and easy to talk to. He seemed genuinely interested in getting to know her. Kate never felt so relaxed around a guy who she was attracted to.

Attracted to — that was an understatement. Not only was Luke good-looking, but they had many things in common. It was at lunch, while they wolfed down fantastic Hawaiian burgers dripped in pineapple sauce, she realized just how similar they were. Both of them were passionate about their careers, enjoyed traveling to new places, and loved animals. They both also felt a certain amount of responsibility for the happiness of their single parents.

He strolled back and handed her an ice cream cone. “I hope you like mango.”

“My favorite.” She laughed and licked the cone. She wasn’t lying. It really was her favorite.

“Let’s go sit over there.” He grabbed her hand and led her across the street to a park bench overlooking the beach. His touch sent an electric shock through her. Her heart was a goner.

She licked her ice cream. The creamy mango flavor melted on her tongue. “Yum. I could get used to this.”

“Me, too.” He smiled. “I had a great time today.”

“Me, too.” Her heart pounding heavily inside her chest indicated it agreed as well.

“So tomorrow.”

“Tomorrow the private cove. Cross your fingers it’s the one.”

“I’m still rooting for the volcano.”

She winkled her nose. “Not going to happen. Volcano ash doesn’t look good on a white dress.”

He touched her arm. “I’ll leave the decision to the expert. From what I’ve heard she’s quite good.”

She bit down on her cone.
