When Lucy thought she was finally out of Miles’s sight, she glanced back over her shoulder.

Just the trees.

She sighed, both relieved and disappointed. It was like being fourteen again to have a craving for someone so inappropriate. Back then she would’ve called it love if she thought about a guy fifty-nine seconds out of every sixty; if the hair on the back of her neck stuck up just because he touched her; if she couldn’t control herself around him.

I’m too old for this. As long as she reminded him of her goals, she’d be able to keep him away. Mentioning marriage was like flinging a crucifix at Dracula. Begone, servant of Satan! Tongue to yourself, hands at your sides, spawn of the devil!

Time to get serious. She hurried the rest of her way to her cabin, deciding to call Alex and push their date to seven. That would give her time to wash the sand out of her hair.

She rested her head against the door, overwhelmed with the memory of Miles kissing her over the sand castles. She’d almost jumped him again, right there in front of the gulls and the kelp. If he’d touched her, if he’d pushed it, Lucy would have done anything.

She heard a gasp and spun around. Fawn was running down the path to the cabin, barefoot, tears streaming down her face. The pretty silver heels that matched her floral chiffon blouse and designer slacks dangled from one hand.

Lucy flung open the door and helped her inside. “What happened?”

Fawn threw herself face-down on the bed and began to cry.

Gritting her teeth, Lucy kicked off her muddy boots as fast as she could and fell to her knees beside Fawn on the bed. “What did he do?”

“It’s what he didn’t do,” Fawn choked out.

“Because his parents were there?”

She pounded the duvet. “I hate them.”

Lucy rubbed her back, cursing the Sterlings under her breath. “Oh, Fawn. You deserve so much better.”

“Dinner last night was bad, but lunch today was worse. They just won’t give it up! They’re horrible!”

“Is it the modeling? They’d rather you were an investment banker or lawyer or something?”

Fawn flipped over and sat up, wiping her eyes. “I was all prepared for that, even had a little suck-up speech about my degree from Cal being so important to me, how I could casually mention my SATs and my net worth just to show them I’m not just some stupid bimbo.”

“Don’t even say ‘just.’”

“Yeah, well, it doesn’t matter. They don’t even look at me, not once, let alone insult me. It’s like I’m not even there. I couldn’t tell you the eye color of either one of them.” She leaned forward. “Any of them. Huntley was the worst of all.”

Lucy grabbed her hands and squeezed. “I’ll kill him.”

“He was ashamed of me.” She glared at Lucy through her tears. “How can I marry a man who’s ashamed of me?”

Lucy swallowed. Oh, shit. “You can’t.”
