Jules headed home to the Beachcomber Inn and jumped straight in the shower, humming happily under the spray. She would have loved to spend a lazy morning in bed with Reeve, but after the rude interruption of the real world knocking at the door, a carefree day together was the next best thing. Besides, she had a feeling that putting some distance between Reeve and the vineyard might be no bad thing; the lush property may have been romantic enough under moonlight, but in the bright light of day, it was still full of old family issues for Reeve.

Issues that might send him booking a flight back to California, the first chance he got.

Jules stepped out of the shower and dressed in a black bikini and cut-offs for the beach. Even though they’d barely had one date, she couldn’t stop her mind skipping forward: one week, two weeks, a month from now. What would life look like for her? Would Reeve still be around?

Would she?

“There she is,” Evie’s voice broke through her thoughts, and Jules turned to find her friend in the doorway with a smug grin on her face. “I’d say you just did the walk of shame, but I know you drove.”

“And have nothing to be ashamed about.” Jules beamed widely again. “Not after a romantic dinner, and a night of spectacular sex.”

Evie let out a shriek of delight. “Yes! Finally! I just put on a pot of coffee, come tell me everything.”

Jules threw her beach things into a bag, and followed Evie to the main house—detouring to grab some breakfast things from the buffet before they found a spot on the porch, shaded from the morning sun. Jules stuffed a muffin in her mouth, ravenous by now, as Evie waited expectantly. “Come on!” she exploded, impatient, as Jules gulped her coffee. “I need details.”

Jules laughed. “Well, he cooked,” she began happily. “And took me on a tour of the wine cellar, and… Other places.”

Evie clapped her hands together in delight. “I knew my bet would pay out.”

“Bet?”

“There may have been a pool running,” she said with a mischievous grin. “About when the two of you would finally accept the inevitable and fall into bed.”

“Seriously?” Jules had to laugh. “I’ll take that as a compliment to our sizzling chemistry.”

“Sizzle is good,” Evie agreed. “As long as the main course lived up to expectations?”

“It did,” Jules grinned back. “Reeve is a passionate and thoughtful… chef.”

Evie laughed. “You deserve a good meal, after the time you’ve had,” she said, sitting back and curling her feet underneath her. “And if I remember, Rory wasn’t exactly skilled in the kitchen department.”

“Literally, and figuratively,” Jules quipped.

“So you’re definitely not calling Rory back,” Evie checked. “Not even to brag about how well fed you are these days without him.”

Jules shook her head, smiling. “I think we just stretched that metaphor to its limit, but no, I don’t need anything from Rory now. He can just go right ahead and fail without me, wishing desperately he hadn’t made such a massive mistake.
