Molly was relieved when she woke up the next morning and found a note from her cousin telling her that Fiona and Scott had borrowed a car and were taking a drive to the other side of the island. She was grateful for the reprieve, temporary though she knew it would be. Having succeeded in sending Molly and Eric off together the day before, Fiona would want to hear all the details of their outing, and Molly wasn’t quite sure how she would answer her questions.She imagined Eric would give her a wide berth today. Not just because of the friction between them but because he would need some time to figure out what he really wanted with respect to a relationship with his child.

In the light of day, Molly realized she shouldn’t have been so surprised by his impulsive proposal the night before. She knew he was an honorable man who took his responsibilities seriously. It would be natural for him to want to assume responsibility for his child. But she was equally convinced that, having had an opportunity to think it through, he would be grateful she hadn’t accepted his offer of marriage.

She went down to the dining room for breakfast, helping herself to a bowl of fresh fruit and a muffin. It seemed that everyone else had already been and gone and though she didn’t mind the solitude, she was conscious of the fact that she’d slept late every morning since arriving on the island and worried that she would become accustomed to this life of leisure. Long stretches of time in which she was required to do absolutely nothing were beyond her realm of experience, so she was pleased when she wandered into the garden and found Princess Lara there with her sons.

Matthew had a butterfly net in one hand and a bug box in the other and was bent at the waist, peering intently at the grass. William toddled around behind his brother, his steps a little unsteady on the grass. Occasionally he’d land on his diaper-clad bottom, but he’d just push himself up again and keep going, though he frequently looked back to make sure his mother was still there and never ventured too far away from her.

“We’re looking for frogs,” the three-year-old young prince informed Molly when she joined them. “Would you like to help?”

“Frogs?” Molly squatted down so that she was at eye level with him. “What kind—brown ones or green ones?”

His little brow furrowed and he looked to his mother for help.

“Whichever ones we can find,” she told him, before lowering her voice so that only Molly could hear and adding, “which I’m hoping is none.”

Molly smiled at the princess, then turned back to the little boy and asked, “Are there any purple ones around here?”

“There’s no such thing as purple frogs,” he said authoritatively.

“How do you know?”

“’Cause Damon’s caught lotsa frogs and he’s never caught a purple one.”

“And I’ve told you,” Lara reminded her son, “just because you haven’t seen something doesn’t mean it doesn’t exist.
