Chapter 12

It turns out, tracking down Jade Archibald is harder than it sounds. Or more to the point, Everett and I threw in the towel after fifteen minutes and decided to spend the rest of the evening down at Honey Lake on board Everett’s ridiculously extravagant yacht, The Lucky Lemon.

The Lucky Lemon is a fifty-four foot cruiser yacht with three exquisitely furnished staterooms. It comes with both an indoor and outdoor kitchen, but perhaps the very best feature is the full sundeck to soak in the rays and a six-person hot tub. No one is quite sure why Everett’s boating purchase went in such an extravagant direction, but I’m betting it had something to do with the fact both he and Evie are used to the finer things in life.

Honey Lake is gleaming like a sapphire today. The sky is a pristine blue, the weather is heated, and the sunbathers have come out in full force. The air is peppered with the scent of fresh hot dogs on the grill and the delighted screams and laughter of those on the beach. Behind the lake, on the north side, sits a row of evergreens and to the left is the beginnings of Main Street.

Everett and I get settled in the warm bubbling water of the hot tub while the boat remains docked. Everett brought some sparkling cider—no alcohol for the baby, he was quick to point out and break my heart—and a couple of champagne flutes to drink from. I, of course, packed a huge box full of goodies from the bakery before heading this way, filled with cheese Danishes dotted with fresh raspberries, an entire rainbow of macarons, double fudge brownies—which I’ve had an odd hankering for—a couple of pink glazed crullers, peanut butter chocolate chip cookies, s’mores cupcakes, a few fresh baked cinnamon rolls that are still warm to the touch, red velvet whoopie pies, lemon poppy seed muffins, donuts—my God, the donuts—and a handful of my mini peach cobblers.

“Wow,” Everett muses. “You could feed an army with this.” His lips curve as he pulls me in and I float right into his lap. “Have I told you today how much I love you?”

“Just twice.” I shrug before going in for a kiss. Everett’s kisses are dreamy, steamy, and downright unforgettable, each and every one. “I can’t believe you’ve had the whole day off.”

“It happens now and again.” His cheek flinches. “And that probably means we should take advantage of it and find Jade before it’s too late. I don’t want you running around without me.”

“Then we’ll track down Jade later for sure.” I frown as I pull a mini peach cobbler from the pastry box. “Of course, that’s too bad. I had some major plans for the two of us that would start here and end back at my place.” I give a little wink as I feed him a bite of my peach cobbler and Everett moans as if he’s never tasted food before.

“You know how to tease me.
