NINE

At the wedding, the Bow Men had invited Raife and I to the beaches of Archmere to watch a sailing competition the very next day. The married Bow Men were bringing their wives and there would be beach games and suntanning. It sounded fun. I’d gone ahead to Samarah’s this morning and had her sew me a two-piece swimsuit like the ones we wore in Nightfall. I hoped it gave Raife a heart attack. Since bedding on our wedding night last night, Raife had softened. Kisses here and there at breakfast, holding hands, saying sweet things. He was allowing himself to feel his emotions without being afraid of what they would do, and that made me happier than I’d ever been. All I wanted was for us to give this a real chance. Let it be what it could be.

There was a knock at our bedroom door and I opened it to find Raife with his nose shoved in a typography book.

“Ready?” he asked without glancing up.

“Yep,” I announced.

He looked up then, and his eyes ran over my sundress. I normally wore the formal floor-length gowns with heavy embellishments, but that would be ridiculous for a beach event and suntanning. Instead I had on a short little sundress that came well above the knee. It was in a thin purple silk, my favorite color, and the neckline dipped low, giving a small peep of my cleavage.

“I can wait while you get dressed,” he said jokingly.

I laughed, throaty and sarcastic. “Oh, darling, I am dressed.”

His eyes narrowed, going from my cleavage to my bare legs, and I was delighted to feel a little jealously coming off of him.

“Oops, I almost forgot.” I ran over to my wardrobe and grabbed the large wide-brimmed white hat. “Now I’m ready.”

Raife took in a deep breath and then exhaled, holding the door open as I passed. I swear when I brushed up against him, he smelled me. “You kill me,” he breathed, and I just grinned.

Mission accomplished.
