Back at my hotel, I leave Jay chatting with Cooper while I go change. I’ve given him a telling-off for tricking me with the taxi last night. He was so apologetic about it all, and Jay said not to blame him as he had asked for his help. Cooper looked so sorry for himself that I had to forgive him. I even ended up thanking him, as I wouldn’t have given Jay the time of day otherwise. I would still be miserable and would have ruined the best thing to happen to me in a long time.

I pack my bag with enough to last me for the night. I go for a slouchy T-shirt that ties around the waist and has a faded beach scene on it and some denim shorts to wear tomorrow, along with my toiletry bag and makeup bag.

I twist my hair up into a messy bun in front of the mirror. All the sex is making my eyes sparkle. Pulling the floral dress I had on last night over my head, I change it for a coral off the shoulder one. I call my flight manager’s room and leave a message and contact details, telling her I’m staying out of the city for the night. Then I head back down to the front of the hotel.

Jay and Cooper are standing where I left them, chatting and laughing. As I walk over to them, something dark across the street moves. Then I see him. A man disappearing around the corner again, just like last night.

“You okay, Holls?” Jay asks, concerned when he sees my face.

I look past him, searching the street opposite. “It’s probably nothing.” I shrug, not wanting to make a big deal out of it. “It’s just, there was a guy standing over there watching me. He went down that side street.” I point to a building. “He was there last night, and he was just there now too.”

“I’ll check it out.”

“No, Jay, it’s nothing. Just leave it.” But he’s already halfway across the street.

Cooper and I watch as he disappears down the side of the building the man had gone down a few moments ago. A few minutes pass and then Jay reappears, jogging back over.

He’s shaking his head. “It runs down to the next street over. No sign of anyone.”

“I’ll check the CCTV.” Cooper taps at the computer at his desk. “I can check last night’s too; it picks up quite a large area. Leave it to me and I’ll let you know if I find anything.”

“Thanks, man.” Jay pats him on the shoulder.

“Thanks, Coop, I appreciate it.”

“No problem, Holly. If there’s someone snooping around, we’ll get him. Probably a photographer looking for a story.”

“Yeah. I guess I’m just not used to it,” I say as Jay wraps his arm around my waist.

“Come on, Berry, we better hit the road.”

“See you later, Coop,” we both call as we climb into Jay’s car and head off for his parents’ house.

It’s such a gorgeous, sunny day that we drive with the windows down and country music blaring.
