them away from you!“

“Spoilsport Actually, I’m looking at a bird. A real bird. Large wings, dark, a sort of whitish throat…“

“Sounds like a female frigate bird Known locally as an iwa. Let’s see.“ Reyna lifted her glasses and

followed his angle of sight “Ummm. A beautiful one. They have wingspans of around seven feet“

“This tourist who got you interested in birding…“ Trev murmured carefully.

“Ummmm?“

“Was it a sweet little old lady in tennis shoes?“

She felt the small, lapping waves of his potential jealousy and didn’t know how to react to it She ought to

be impatient After all, he had no right…

“No.“

“A little old man in tennis shoes?“ he tried, still watching the frigate bird.

“No.“

“Someone you’ll probably be seeing again?“ he suggested with a deceptive blandness.

“Maybe.“

“Reyna, please!“

Her mind went to the pleasant, forty-year-old, recently divorced man who had stayed for two weeks at

the hotel Tyler Bond had been an enjoyable diversion and his enthusiasm for birding had been contagious.

But he had gone back to his law practice in Phoenix and neither of them had missed the other sufficiently to

even invest in a long-distance phonecall. By mutual agreement the relationship had stayed light, friendly and

very temporary.

“He’s a forty-year-old lawyer from Phoenix,“ she explained equably.

“And did he try to take you home with him?“

“A little souvenir of the islands? Hardly. He was in the process of getting over a divorce and the last

thing he wanted was a serious relationship.“ Reyna laughed She could feel Trev relax.

“You don’t sound as if you’re eating your heart out over him,“ he observed cheerfully.

“I’m not“

“And your beachboy?“

“What is this? An inquisition? Look, Trev, if you’re tired of bird-watching already, we can go back to the

hotel…“

“I’ll be good,“ he sighed. “Besides, I already have my answers. You gave them to me last night It’s just

the territorial instinct in me that has to keep pressing. God! If you knew how many times I’ve tortured

myself wondering if some k ind male was letting you cry on his shoulder!“

“I haven’t been crying on anyone’s shoulder! And don’t give me that line. If you’d really changed your

mind after I left, you’d have been over here a lot sooner, Trev,“ she declared, using the field glasses to hide

her unaccountably fierce expression. There were no birds in her line of sight at the moment so she stared

hard at the horizon instead.

“It took me over a month to find out where you’d gone,“ he said gently, continuing to stare at something

through his own pair of glasses. “Before that I was swamped trying to rescue that dumb brother-in-law of

mine. Not to mention all the time I took trying to talk myself out of coming after you at all.“

“Poor Trev. You’ve had a difficult time, haven’t you? You should use this trip to the islands to try and

relax,“ she shot back with determined briskness. “Look!“ she added in the next breath, “a white-tailed tropic

bird. PhaSthon lepturus, to be technical about it See the large, black wing patches and that beautiful, long

white tail?“

“No.“

“You’re not trying,“ she accused, lowering the glasses to admonish him with a mischievous smile.
