Chapter 13

The rustle of the eucalyptus leaves above her head woke Tamsin from her nap. The sun still lay warm on her skin, yet she could tell it was late afternoon. The heat was no longer blistering.

She stretched.

Glancing over, she slid her hand around the glass of iced frappe someone had brought out for her while she slept and put on the small table beside her lounge chair. She avoided thinking it could have been Rafe. The thought of him staring at her in her swimsuit while she slept made her…oh, well. More likely it was Aspasia, the housekeeper. Who rarely did anything she wasn’t told to do.

Come on, Tam. Get real.

She sipped on the cold drink, enjoying the sugared coffee as it rolled down her throat. It was exactly as she liked it. Exactly. How Aspasia knew this information, she had no idea.

Whatever, Tam.

Ignoring her inner irritating voice, she put the glass on the cypress side table and eased back on the lounge chair. The pool water beckoned, but she didn’t want to move.

A week had gone by.

A solid week of doing absolutely nothing. Every time she was tempted to pitch in and help—whether it was sorting the boys’ clothes for laundry or opening the refrigerator to search for something to make for dinner—she got a cool, dark stare.

A challenging stare.

Did he think she was incapable of relaxing? Or did he think she thought he was incapable of taking care of the house and the twins?

Either way, it was a challenge. A challenge that made her angry enough to accept.

So she’d done nothing.

Well, she’d slept. A lot. She’d done some reading. She’d lazed around the pool. She’d played some games with the boys. One day, she’d gone on a hike, but she’d been too tired to go very far. It was as if the years of working hard had all slammed into her body at the same time and she realized she was tired. Really, really tired.

So she slept.

A frustrated grunt came from her throat as she straightened on the chair. Grabbing a magazine she’d found in the study, she started to flip the pages.

Time to get busy.

Time to remember her reluctance about living off Rafe’s money.

Time to get some direction in her life.

There were small hotels in Sparti. She could bike down there every day and work at something. Although she couldn’t promise a prospective employer she’d be around for much longer than the end of summer.

Frustration bubbled. She flipped another page and went still.

The ad proudly proclaimed the delights of getting an online degree from anywhere in the world. Her finger slid along the list of degrees offered.

Accounting

Computer Science

Human Resources

Psychology

Business

Her finger stopped at the last entry. For years, she’d never thought of anything except getting the boys and her through the next day. Sure, she’d run the hotel, but again, it had been with a survivor’s mindset, not a firm plan of where she wanted to go in her life.

Student loans available.

Something inside her trembled.
