Chapter 28

It was one of those Cornish mornings when the air was Jif-lemon sharp and the light so clear it almost hurt the eyes. Although it was only seven o’clock, the heat of the day was already intense, ripe with the promise of more warmth from the gold-medallion sun. While Andi, Angel and Gemma waited on the pontoon, the Camel was already teeming with boats as holidaymakers and locals alike prepared for a day out on the water. The concentration of Breton tops, Joules tee shirts and Seasalt gear was probably higher here than anywhere else on the planet, Andi thought with a smile. And as for the rash of designer sunglasses atop perfectly styled hair – it must be really contagious, because here came Travis sporting a monster pair of Guccis and, next to him, a tall lean man with long dark hair and a panther-like grace, who was wearing mirrored wrap-around Pradas. From the way Angel lit up like Harrods at Christmas, Andi guessed this had to be the mysterious Laurence.

“All right, ladies?” Travis carolled, giving them a jaunty wave as he strode along the pontoon. He was wearing a scarlet pair of Rip Curl board shorts and little else, the sun glinting off his smooth waxed chest. He obviously worked out because he was ripped, but it was an oddly sexless look. Andi couldn’t help comparing him to Jonty, who was tanned and muscular from all his work in the boatyard and Ocean View garden. Jonty was strong, but not in an airbrushed showy way; she liked the freckles on his shoulders and the sprinkling of hair across his chest.

Andi pushed such thoughts away. Jax probably liked Jonty’s features too...

Once Jax had arrived last night, Andi had made her excuses and left swiftly. Jonty hadn’t tried to stop her. He’d been rooted to the spot, as motionless as any of the rosemary and lavender bushes beside him, and her last image of him had been of a figure so still he could have been mistaken for a statue. Whether he’d been frozen with horror or amazement Andi hadn’t been able to tell, but either way she hadn’t felt comfortable staying. Whatever had happened between Jonty and his ex, and whether Mel and Simon’s version was biased by affection or not, Andi had no idea. She only knew one thing: Jonty and Jax had a history and she was no part of it. He was her friend but, like her, he hadn’t chosen to share many details about his past. Andi wondered whether it was because this was too painful or because he was still in love with Jax? For about the hundredth time since yesterday evening she checked her mobile for a voicemail or a text, but it remained stubbornly silent. Andi sighed, and pushed it back into her rucksack. Life was complicated enough already; she ought to be grateful that Jonty was choosing not to make things even more difficult. Maybe he and Jax had spent
