Chapter Sixteen Liam: If You Like Piña Coladas...

I figured it was time to finally get some food for the bungalow. Yes, the retreat was all inclusive, and I could have as much food and drink as I wanted at the Main House. But that meant getting in the golf cart and driving all the way there, or calling room service and waiting an hour. It’s not like I had a shortage of money. I’d just pick up a few things to keep on hand for when I wanted to eat and didn’t want to leave the room.

So, as soon as I opened the door to the bungalow, I grabbed the golf cart key and headed out to go down to the little market I’d seen earlier. Maybe I’ll get some kind of tool and go down to that cave again tomorrow. See what’s in those crates.

I had really fallen in love with the island and its rhythm. The sounds of the ocean were present everywhere. Sure, there were a lot of tourists, but everyone was happy. Who wouldn’t be, in this paradise? Even I was starting to feel alive again. A large part of that is Jenny.

Parking the cart at the Island Market, I hadn’t even made it inside before my phone rang. It was Jenny, and she sounded frantic.

“Liam. I can’t find Julie!”

“What do you mean you can’t find her?”

“I can’t find her anywhere! She’s not in the room, she’s not by the pool or the beach or in the bar or the restaurant.” Jenny sounded breathless and really worried. It seemed a bit out of proportion to me, but then again I didn’t know either of them all that well. Maybe Julie had a history of disappearing or something.

“Maybe she just went for a walk.”

“Maybe, but her phone keeps going straight into voicemail. I’m trying not to panic.” From the sound of her voice, it didn’t seem like she was doing a very good job of it.

“Jenny, it’s probably nothing. But, I tell you what. I’ll come there and we can look together. We can also go to the front desk. Everyone’s key card is equipped with a GPS chip, so if she has her key on her, they can track it.”

“Oh yeah! That’s a great idea. Thank you!” She sounded grateful and relieved.

Looks like today isn’t the day I’m going to get food for the bungalow either. I jumped back into the golf cart and headed over to the Main House.

Ten minutes later, I was there already, parking the cart in the lot next to the Main House. As soon as I walked into the lobby, she came rushing toward me. Throwing her arms around me, she said, “Thank you so much for coming. I feel stupid worrying like this, but she’s my little sister, and I’m the one who wanted her to come on this trip, and if something happened to her...”

I gently put two fingers on her lips and said, “Shh... everything is going to be fine.
