Chapter 10

Alex’s white Vespa pulled into a guest parking space in the lot outside Mr. Woods’s condominium building and shut off the engine. Taking off his helmet, he turned to peer at Georgiana. “Did you enjoy the ride?”

“More than you can imagine.” She had happily spent the last twenty minutes zipping from Barefoot Beach to Mr. Woods’s retirement community in Bonita Beach with her arms wrapped around Alex’s rock solid abs and her breasts pressed against his muscular back. To say it was exhilarating was an understatement.

She unstrapped her helmet and shook out her hair, finger combing her long waves before she got off the bike. Handing him the helmet, she gave him a high five and he laughed.

Alex held her hand as they walked from the parking lot to the sidewalk leading to Mr. Woods’s condo on the first floor of a three-level building on a lake.

“Mr. Woods said to come right in. He left the front door unlocked because he’ll be on the back porch setting up tea.” She chuckled. “His version of tea is a combination of half bourbon and half tea.”

Alex’s mouth kicked up at one corner. “I like him already. How old is he?”

“He just turned eighty-two, and he’s in pretty good shape. He has tons of dance trophies he’s very proud of. When he retired, he cruised the world with his wife and was awarded prizes in dance competitions.”

“How did you meet him?”

“Through my grandmother. After my grandpa died, she began to go to her community club for weekend dances. She met Mr. Woods there and they became good friends. He was her dancing partner until she passed.”

Alex smiled. “That generation was big on dancing, wasn’t it? My grandparents are gone on both sides, but I remember they used to love to dance.”

They reached Mr. Woods’s front door and Georgiana knocked to let him know they’d arrived. When he didn’t answer, she opened the door and gasped when she saw smoke coming from the kitchen. “Mr. Woods?” she called out, rushing toward the kitchen. “Where are you?”

Alex bolted into the house and shouted, “He’s out in the patio.” From the corner of her eye she watched him scoop Mr. Woods up from his recliner and carry him out, cradling him carefully against his chest as if he weighed no more than a babe.

In the kitchen, she ignored Alex’s shouts for her to get out. She knew exactly where the fire extinguisher was because she’d placed it in the kitchen cabinet herself. She quickly doused the flaming dishtowel, and then dashed outside to join Alex, who was holding a loudly complaining Mr. Woods in his arms.

Alex’s dark eyes blazed as he scowled at her. “What is wrong with you? I told you not to go in there. The stove could have exploded!”

Georgiana swallowed hard. She understood why he was angry, but she had done the right thing. “It was only a tiny fire,” she said patiently. “I put it out right away with the fire extinguisher I bought with Mr.
