A week passed, then two. The Halloween parade was in just one more day, and Wyatt would be glad when it was over. Most people probably didn’t know that Halloween was one of the most stressful days for a police officer.

All that makeup, all the masks, and hats, and flowing costumes. It made identifying threats terribly difficult, and Wyatt didn’t want anyone on the island to get hurt. More kids got lost on Halloween in Getaway Bay than any other time of year, and he couldn’t wait until Wednesday, when it would all be behind him for another year.

Today, he had a meeting over near Deirdre, and he’d said he’d stop by her office and take her to lunch. They’d planned to simply walk down the boardwalk to Manny’s and get tacos. Easy things like that made Wyatt’s heart sing as loudly as the bigger dates they’d had.

He’d taken her to movies, on a couple of hikes with him and Tigger, and they had plans to go snorkeling that weekend. He saw her almost every day, but they both had schedules and very full jobs, so there were times where two or three days would pass with only calls or texts.

Wyatt was fine with all of it. He didn’t need to move quickly, not when he could take her hand and hold it whenever he wanted. Kiss her hello and goodbye and everything in between. Call or text at any hour.

He flipped a black ballpoint pen from one hand to the next as he listened to a lecture from a K9 sergeant from another island department talk about the dogs he’d been training. Wyatt had wanted to bring in a K9 unit for years, and it was finally going to happen—but through the Sheriff’s department.

That was fine with Wyatt, and he’d been working closely with Sheriff Tracey Batista, who’d be the one to monitor the dogs and the men who worked with them.

The meeting finally ended, and Wyatt stood up. His uniform itched along the collar, but he didn’t move to scratch his skin. He shook hands with everyone, thanked them for coming from Oahu, and headed out to his cruiser.

Your Tidal Forever sat just down the street, and he arrived before his air conditioning had truly cooled the air inside his car. The scent of frosting and flowers met his nose when he entered the building, and he took a moment to remember the last time he’d been here.

Jen had wanted—and gotten—a big Getaway Bay-wide celebration for her wedding. Wyatt had come to almost every appointment here with her to make sure she got the dress she wanted. The food. The decorations. The invitations. All of it. Your Tidal Forever could handle as little or as much as a bride wanted, and Jen had wanted it all.

“Morning, Chief,” someone chirped, and he looked to the smiling woman several feet in front of him, standing behind a desk. Sunny, the receptionist. “Are you here for Deirdre?”

“Yes, please,” he said. “But I can go back to her office, can’t I?”

“She’s in a meeting,” Sunny said.
