CHAPTER FOUR

POPI BARELY ATE her dinner at the reception.

Her gaze kept moving over the crowd of well-wishers, searching for the strikingly handsome man. He seemed so familiar to her and yet she was certain they hadn’t met before, but how could that be?

And what did he want with her? If he was a disgruntled client, he would want to speak with Lea, as she was the owner of the island and the wedding business. But Popi hadn’t noticed a wedding ring on his finger.

Lea leaned over. “Is everything all right?”

Not wanting to alarm the bride on her big day, Popi said, “Yes, of course.”

Lea’s brows drew together. “Then why haven’t you eaten?”

Popi glanced down. At one point, the food had looked appetizing, but now her stomach was a twisted-up ball of nerves. “I…um…was just distracted.”

Lea arched a fine brow at her. “Distracted, huh? With that handsome guy I saw you chatting with?”

Popi’s gaze searched the area, not finding any sign of him. She didn’t know what to say to Lea. She didn’t want the bride worrying about the mystery man.

“Popi?”

She turned back to the bride. “He’s, um, with the movers. There was some kind of mix-up and he showed up a day early. I hope him crashing the wedding hasn’t upset you.”

A look of disappointment skittered across Lea’s face. “So he wasn’t here at your invitation?”

Popi gave a firm shake of her head.

“I’ll have him escorted off the island—”

“No. Don’t.” There was something about his serious tone and the feeling she should know him that had her anxious to learn his story. “I’ve got it.”

Lea looked hesitant. “You’re sure?”

Popi nodded. The truth was she wasn’t sure about anything—especially why this man was so eager to speak with her.

Lea let the subject drop. And with the mystery man now gone, Popi forced herself to eat a few bites of food. The evening moved along with the groom, Xander, dancing the traditional zeibekiko. The crowd clapped as Xander’s arms rose over his head. He snapped his fingers as he moved in a tight circle. He stopped in front of Lea and dropped to his knees, still waving his arms over his head. The crowd loved it, most especially Lea. The smile on the bride’s face lit up the whole room.

One dance led to another. The bride and groom were all smiles, as they had eyes only for each other. Popi considered this wedding a success. She took her first easy breath.

And the next thing she knew, she was being led around the dance floor by the best man, Roberto, who was also Xander’s close friend and second-in-command. She’d met him more than once, and though Lea was anxious for them to hit it off, it wasn’t going to happen. Popi couldn’t put her finger on why. He was definitely handsome and successful, but neither one was into the other. They were becoming fast friends, but that’s all it would ever be.

Partway through the song, there was a tap on Roberto’s shoulders. Popi’s gaze followed the finger up the arm and then her gaze settled upon the sexy stranger’s face.
