This can’t be right.

This girl can’t be Kai Miller.

It has to be a mistake.

Even if she is Kai Miller, my father must have written down the wrong name.

Or there must be a different Kai Miller.

She doesn’t belong in my world.

She doesn’t deserve to die.

Even though she stole your watch without any way to pay you back?

Shut up, I tell the voice in my head.

There is a difference between being punished and dying. She deserves to be punished for her crime, that’s all.

“Show me your ID,” I say.

Jocelyn, or Kai or whatever her name is, bites her lip in the adorable, seductive way she does when she’s thinking hard.

I groan inwardly, but don’t let her see how such a simple movement affects me. I want to kiss her, not kill her.

“I don’t have an ID.”

“What? Did you leave it at home?” I ask, not sure why she would. I don’t know where she lives, but surely she drove to the pier. I know she doesn’t live in any of the large seaside houses that cost millions and are the only homes nearby.

“No, I don’t have an ID.”

I grip her wrist, not believing a word out of her mouth. “You’re older than sixteen, which means you have a driver’s license.”

She shakes her head.

“You’re not at least sixteen?” Shit, how young is she?

“I’m sixteen; I turn seventeen next week.” She hesitates as if she’s ashamed to say the rest. “But I never got my driver’s license.”

I narrow my eyes into slits, demanding her to tell me the truth.

“Why would I need a driver’s license? I don’t own a car, and even if I did, I don’t know how to drive.”

My heart throbs. I learned to drive when I was thirteen. No one taught me, just like no one taught me how to throw a punch or fire a gun. I learned because it was necessary to survive. But since I was sixteen, I’ve been driving a Lamborghini. I can’t imagine never driving. It’s one of the world’s greatest escapes. I feel powerful and unrelenting when I drive. And suddenly, I have the urge to teach her how to drive and watch as she takes control.

“I’m Kai Miller,” her words are calm and steady.

“How do I know that? How do I know you aren’t lying to me so I’ll forgive your debt?”

Anger flares on her face, as steam flows from her ears. She’s pissed. It’s cute, but not enough to make me believe her.

She huffs. “Do I look like a Jocelyn to you?”

“No.”

“My name is Kai. My father calls me Katherine because he thinks Kai is too masculine sounding. But I chose the name Kai when I was little and thought Katherine was too long. It means—”

“Sea.”

She nods slowly.

Kai looks like the sea. Her eyes match the greenish blue color of the ocean, and her skin thrives under the sun making her tanner instead of burning. I would guess she’s grown up her whole life near the water, but instead of learning about the ocean, she’s been cleaning expensive yachts…for my father, I realize.
