Willow was uncharacteristically quiet on their walk. It hadn’t taken Logan long to realise just how much she adored living practically on the beach. On the few occasions he had accompanied her on her regular communes with the ocean, she had been full of thoughts and questions, but this evening she stayed mute, answering his attempts at conversation with monosyllables. Not that he tried very hard. The thought of the meal ahead dominated his thoughts, what it would be like to be face-to-face with Nate, with the consequences of his actions regarding. Although he should be used to that by now, because the other consequence was by his side. Willow was a constant reminder of the damage he wrought so thoughtlessly.

It was hard to pinpoint when the time they had spent together in Vegas had spiralled out of control. Saving her from what might have been a very nasty accident was one thing, taking her for a drink to help with her shock reasonable, and tempting her to sample some of Vegas’s dubious pleasures understandable, but marriage? All Logan knew was that they seemed to have been heading towards that chapel from the moment he put the first chips in her hand, and that when she took his hand and said ‘I do,’ it had felt right in a way he would never be able to explain.

The twenty hours they had spent together had been the happiest in his life. No wonder he had wanted to hold on to them, even if it was just for one night, with a marriage they both knew would be dissolved before the ink really had a chance to dry.

Which is why much as he had wanted to cross the study earlier, to hold Willow once again, the memory of kissing her and touching her pounding through his body, he had stayed right there in his seat. She wouldn’t have pushed him away. He knew that by her dilated pupils, her immobility, so he had to make sure that this time he didn’t tempt her into something she’d regret.

Logan’s chest tightened as they approached the all-too-familiar Inn, and he was equally relieved and surprised when Willow took his hand and squeezed his fingers reassuringly.

‘What a stunning view,’ was all she said, her tone light, normal, as if she didn’t know his inner turmoil.

‘Yes.’ He was grateful for the conversational opening. ‘My ancestors had an eye for the best plots. Lookout House has the best situation in the town. We’ve had several developers offering to buy it over the years, more with an eye on the plot and the build potential there rather than the house itself. And Great-Great-Grandfather Byrne knew what he was doing when he established The Harbour Inn.’

The Inn was an attractive white two-storey building at one end of the harbour, overlooking the natural curve of the bay. Roof terraces, balconies and a large garden meant plenty of outside
