CHAPTER TEN

Amy pulled Neesha into a hug, but that didn’t stop the bride from squealing in front of the crowded spa. “Where have you been? You’re two hours late, and I’ve been texting you all morning. We’ve already gotten our toes done.” She held up her hand and wiggled her fingers. “And we’re about to get our nails done. Sit. Sit.”

Neesha was at least a few rings outside of bridezilla territory, but that didn’t mean she didn’t know what she wanted and where she wanted her attendants at all times on this cruise.

One of the staff members, wearing a purple smock and a kind smile, put her arm around Amy’s back. “We’ll get you taken care of.”

“No. I can’t stay. I have to meet—”

Neesha’s pursed lips turned into a true frown. “What do you mean you can’t stay? This is my wedding cruise. I want my best friends surrounding me, getting pampered with me. The wedding is in two days. Don’t you want to look your best?”

“I do but…”

The eyes of the five other bridesmaids followed her every move, and they hung on her every word. This was not the time or the place to explain about the kidnapping. But convincing Neesha to step away from the spa would be almost impossible.

“Wait, you said you have to meet up with someone.” Neesha’s eyes grew wide, long lashes fluttering with excitement. “Did you meet someone? I told you it could happen anywhere.”

“No.” And then her memory flashed every sweet sensation of Jordan’s kiss, and her entire body shivered.

“Who is it?” Camille, another one of the bridesmaids, called from the chair where the last clear coat of polish was drying on her toenails.

Meredith, who was sitting next to Camille, hollered, “I think it’s that French guy who’s been running around the deck in his Speedo.”

Moans and groans flooded the spa, with even the employees chuckling in agreement.

Amy offered a half grin but shook her head. Even if she wasn’t involved in a life-or-death mission, she still would never be interested in the French guy in need of a larger bathing suit and some heavy-duty sunscreen, if his wrinkled leather skin was any indication. Jordan was about the opposite of the rotund man.

“Very funny, Mer. Ha. Ha.”

All the girls giggled again. “Then tell us who it is.”

She had a sudden urge to lie and say that she was meeting up with Elaina. But lies never solved anything, so she closed her eyes, hunched her shoulders and prepared for the worst. “I have to meet Jordan.”

The squeals were deafening.

“Really?”

“Oh, Amy! He’s so handsome!”

“It’s about time. The two of you have been circling each other forever.”

“Does this mean he’s off the market?”

It was Neesha’s voice that rose above all of the others. “You’ve finally forgiven him, haven’t you?” She grabbed Amy’s hands and squeezed hard. “I told you he’s wonderful. He’s such a good man. He really is. He just made some dumb choices. He never wanted to hurt you. But now that’s in the past, and the two of you together would be—”

“We are not together.
