Do not, Nyree told herself on the ride home. Don’t you dare.

Small chance of that working. Her hand still tingled. She’d swear her heart was being pulled away from her and onto that plane, as if he’d stolen it when he’d looked into her eyes and kissed her palm.

Face it. Her heart always spoke louder than her head, and now? She couldn’t hear anything else over its beat, exactly as if Marko’s music had come to lodge inside her. Since her heart insisted on dominating the conversation, and this was her day off from Bevvy, and possibly because she’d had some trouble sleeping since that kiss on the deck, she changed into her workout clothes and did the same run she’d done that first day, through Dingle Dell and up to Achilles Point. She even ran down the stairs to the beach this time, after which she took a photo from the bottom and texted it to Marko.

Recognize these? she asked him. I can’t promise I’ll run them. But I’ll ambulate up them somehow. I may even try a few pressups at the top. Depends if anybody’s looking.

She wasn’t expecting an answer. Really. And she didn’t get one. Not for hours. She was checking her work on the trailer hitch, in fact, when her phone dinged, and she was pulling it out of her pocket even as she told herself that she was busy.

Three words.

I’d be looking.

She hesitated, and then her thumbs were flying.

I did do them. Only bcs nobody was up there. I’m not as impressive as you. I know the point is exercise, not looking good blah blah. Don’t care.

I’m guessing you looked good, he texted straight back. And if you think that wasn’t why I was doing them, I’m even more rubbish at this than I thought.

Maybe you are, she answered. It didn’t work, remember?

I know. Bugger. That’s why I haven’t done them for you since. Working on my subtle moves instead. Bus at hotel though. How’s my mate Colin?

She laughed out loud, then texted, Madly in love.

Tell him to back off.

She stood there in the street and tried to haul some air back into her lungs. Beside her, Colin said, “Talking to the fella, eh.”

She jumped. She’d forgotten he was there. “Oh, no. Silly, that’s all.” She shoved the phone back into her pocket.

“Yeh, right,” he said. “Young people, eh. Always thinking they’ve invented some new step. There aren’t any new steps. It’s always the same dance.” His blue eyes were full of amusement. “Never mind, though. It’s still the best one there is.”
