Chapter 11

Dorsey

Dorsey still was embarrassed. She pulled the covers over her face and said, “I never faint, Jack, honest. It’s way too Victorian, just not in my demeanor. It was heat stroke, I’m sure of it.”

“I’m just glad to see you feeling better,” Jack said, a smile on his handsome, worried face. Jack sat on the bed next to Dorsey and kissed her gently on the forehead. He wasn’t wearing his typical lifeguard uniform of white polo and red bathing suit. Instead, he wore jeans and a white button down. He looked like a hot businessman on vacation. Her hot businessman. Dorsey’s Indigo Island family, all present. She realized that’s how she thought of him, as family. How had they grown so close, so fast, she wondered? He was very much inside her heart, even if it wasn’t a good idea. Even if it weren’t allowed.

“They want to interview you as soon as you’re up to it,” Jack said, turning serious, his hand brushing a stray hair from her eye.

“How’s the little boy?” Dorsey asked, shuddering.

“Fine. He thinks he saw a dead dolphin. I guess you told him that,” Jack said. “Good thinking. Really good. You were amazing out there, you kept it all under control. I’m so proud of you. Don’t feel embarrassed, please.”

“Did you realize it was a body, right away?” she asked. He’d been by her side so quickly, helping with the kids and the other guests.

“No, I thought it was a dolphin, too. But then I saw your face go white and I knew,” he said, shaking his head at the memory. “I’m just glad I was there, but even if I hadn’t been, you handled it like a pro.” She grinned at his words, knowing she’d said too much to him, realizing he was a gentleman for not asking her any questions. She reached for his hand just as Steve appeared in the doorway.

“Dorsey, could I speak with you a moment?” he asked, ridiculous glasses on, inside, as always.

“Of course,” Dorsey said, shooting a look at Jack who nodded slightly. He was their boss so of course she had to talk to him.

“Alone?” Steve said.

“Ah, right. I was just leaving, going back to the pool to be the good little cabana boy,” Jack said, and kissed Dorsey on the forehead, despite the fact Steve was watching. “I’ll be back after my shift. Don’t move. She’s tired, Steve.”

“I know. I won’t be long. Now, Dorsey, what exactly did you see?” Steve asked checking over his shoulder to make sure they were alone. He seemed to have stretched out the sleeves on his cardigan—his hands were missing.

“You can sit down, Steve,” Dorsey said, pointing to the chair in the corner of her bedroom. Her other bed was, as always, a mess of just-washed but not-folded clothes, kids’ craft supplies and her growing pottery collection.

Steve began to pace back and forth in front of her bed. “It’s a problem, this woman. The boat that’s missing was filled with men.
