CHAPTER SEVENTEEN

Rod

“When are you and Tracy getting married?” I intentionally throw that unexpected bomb at Kevin during our early morning run to see how he’ll respond.

“Married? What are you talking about?” He stops jogging and his eyebrows lift well over his sunglasses. “When are you and Daisy getting married?”

“We’re not, and you damn well know it. This is a vacation fling—nothing more. I’ve made that clear from day one.”

“So you’ve said. But you’ve been with the same woman for a week now, not even looking at all the other hotties running around here in their thong bikinis. You don’t want to admit it, even to yourself, but you’ve got it bad for little Miss Daisy.”

“Wrong.”

“I’m not wrong. The day Daisy and Tracy went off together and left us out, you were in a foul mood the entire time because you couldn’t get your Daisy fix.”

“Lies and slander.”

He laughs, but it’s the sardonic, I know you better than that kind. “You’re right. There are lies, the ones you’re telling yourself. You’ve been in two fights over her, in the club and at the pool. The only other woman you’ve fought for is Juliana, but she’s your sister, so that doesn’t count.”

“She’s the only woman I love, so she does count.”

“That was true before. But do you know what I think?”

“No, and I don’t want to know.”

“I think you’ve already fallen in love with Daisy, to the point you can see yourself settling down with her for a nice, long life. That scares the ever-loving shit out of you, and you know it.”

I turn to resume our jog on the beach, refusing to dignify that ridiculous notion with a response. He’s quick on my heels, though.

“Typical Rod. Shut down when anything resembling emotions toward another human surfaces. You’re not your father, man. You’ve already proven that. Look at Juliana and Isabelle.”

“What’s it to you? Why do you care so much?” I roar at him, directing my anger and frustration at the closest outlet.

“Because you’re my best friend, Rod. If you don’t acknowledge what’s going on with Daisy, you’ll regret it for the rest of your life. Losing her will haunt you day and night. The girl is crazy about you, and anyone willing to put up with your bullshit deserves a fucking gold medal.”

“All the more reason for her to get away from me after the next three days end. Actually, it won’t even be that long because you and I have an early flight out on our last day. So, we have a couple of days and some change.”

“What a superb role model you are for Isabelle. You should remember this moment the first time some jerk breaks her heart. When you want to kick his ass, just remember you’re not one bit better than he is.”

“What’s your fucking deal, Kevin? Did Tracy cut you off unless you can convince me to pop the question to Daisy before the trip is over?”

“Don’t bring Tracy into this and try to lay any blame on her.
