Chapter 6

They got up early to get out on the boat to fish. Cody met them at the docks, claiming that it had been too long since he'd been out. Holly knew her brother was determined that Jason should have a good time. At some point during the previous evening, everyone had come up to her to have a quiet word about how he was doing. They could all see the change in him, and they'd all decided to keep his spirits up. Holly felt sure the family support could only help, but she also knew with certainty, the healing of Jason wouldn't be complete until he was designing a building in the city again.

But that was out of her control at this point in time. What she could do was make sure he relaxed today and that tomorrow he started work on the project. She'd do whatever she could to help make it happen.

"Holly, what the hell are you wearing?" Jason asked her as the boat pulled away from the dock.

She'd just taken off the t-shirt she'd been wearing and had on a bikini top under it. "I want to get some sun today."

"I thought nobody got any sun these days due to cancer scares. And more importantly, that top barely covers you."

She laughed. "You aren't going to tell me you're a prude, are you? Because I won't believe it. This is a perfectly legitimate bathing suit top. And I do have a low level sun screen on, but I'm not afraid of getting a little tan. Any other complaints?"

"Only one. How am I supposed to focus on fishing when you look like that?"

She laughed again, and he smiled too, some of the tension lines in his face easing away.

Cody had them fishing for big ones that day, and by the afternoon, Holly's arms and shoulders were worn out. Even Jason admitted to being tired, and they put away the fishing gear to sit on the boat and enjoy being out on the water.

"Do you come out here often, Cody?" Jason asked. Cody handed the two of them beers, and opened one for himself.

"Not as often as before I met Julia. And now that we have our daughter, well, I have to confess to being a besotted father. I find every single thing she does utterly fascinating. Never expected to be so into kids, but man, it's a blast."

Holly smiled at the look on her brother's face. When the 'womanizer' of the town had settled down, many had predicted it wouldn't last. But Julia really was his one true love. She'd never seen him so happy. How, she wondered, did you know? Know that you could stay with someone forever?

Jason appeared to be relaxing before her very eyes. He was looking out at the sea while Cody went to the captain's chair to check on something. She reached out and took his hand in hers. He turned his head and smiled at her. "This was a good idea," he said.
