Chapter 7

THE NEXT MORNING, Tex and Melody had breakfast in their suite together. It had been a long night. The concert had been a welcome distraction, Melody thought. Even Tex enjoyed himself and the seats he had purchased put them right up into the action.

Once back in their suite, they had eyes and thoughts only for each other. The dawn of day, however, brought their earlier troubles back into the forefront of their minds. Melody could sense her husband regressing. She needed to take care of this situation today. And the day stretched before them with nothing planned that she knew of. She was trying to think of a way to slip out for a bit that would seem plausible.

Luckily, an idea came to her without her having to think of anything. Her stomach rolled the minute she finished her fruit and yogurt and she pushed the plate away. “Oh honey, my stomach is doing flip flops today. I hope it wasn’t the fish from last night?” she mused aloud placing her hand over her acrobatic stomach.

Melody saw the sudden concern in his eyes and didn’t want him to worry too much, but it could be her way out from under his scrutiny for a while. “I’m sure it will pass,” she commented and grimaced just a tad when another revolution in her tummy occurred.

“Are you okay?” Tex asked, pushing his plate back and giving his wife his complete attention.

Melody nodded reassuringly. “I think it will pass, but maybe, um. . . you could take one of those sea fishing excursions with James today if he is available. I think I will take it easy this morning for a bit until this thing passes.”

They had met James their first day here. He was a former SEAL too. And he had come on vacation with three buddies to hit the beach, do some fishing, and pick up girls though that hadn’t been said in their run in on the beach their first day here. She saw Tex’s eyes narrow while he considered it. Melody added a tired yawn to sound more convincing in her story that she would rest. She felt a tad guilty about the ruse, but didn’t want to lead him to Cat’s door before knowing what the outcome would be. Plus, it would be good for him to hang out with the guys for a while. They had hit it off and he’d enjoyed swapping stories with the men throughout the day. She hoped he would agree to it, as she wanted the time to do a little more sleuthing on her own.

“Well. . .” Tex paused considering it. A day fishing might help restore his equilibrium, and mood. He was always able to think more clearly at sea than anywhere else. “If you are sure,” he started again, not wanting to leave her, but tempted by an afternoon on the water.

Melody nodded vigorously looking more certain and less concerned about her uneasy stomach. “Yes, and don’t worry about me.
