Chapter Ten

“I SWEAR, ONE of us needs to learn to cook,” Serena said as she pushed her spoon around in a bowl of Frosted Mini Wheats. “I have to meet Gav in forty-five minutes at a potential new client’s office. I was hoping to power up for the pitch.”

It was Thursday morning, and the girls had come over for breakfast, but Andre had gone running with the guys and they weren’t back yet. Violet watched the path in the dunes, waiting for him to return, thinking about yesterday. They’d slept in, taken a walk on the beach, and spent hours working in the studio with the windows open, music playing, and Cosmos meandering about. Violet had worked at her potter’s wheel while Andre sketched an idea for a sculpture he hoped to start this weekend. Then they’d gone to the coffeehouse and stayed until closing. She loved falling asleep in his arms and waking to his kisses, but the best thing about spending time with Andre wasn’t what they did; it was simply being together. He calmed her in ways she’d never known she needed, and she had a feeling she settled him in ways he hadn’t imagined either.

Emery stood up, drawing Violet’s attention as she adjusted her yoga pants, and said, “You should get Abby to deliver a few Perpetual Bliss doughnuts every morning.” Serena and Drake had befriended Abby Crew, the owner of Kane’s Donuts in Boston, and Abby had been so inspired by their love, she’d created the Perpetual Bliss doughnut just for them. The delicious doughnut was filled with Belgian chocolate pudding, frosted with Taza chocolate, and topped with creamy white and dark chocolate crispy pearls, and Serena was addicted to them.

Violet gazed out at the water, wondering if Cosmos was driving the guys crazy. The ragamuffin had taken a liking to Andre, and Andre had told her last night that he was taking the pup with him on his run this morning.

“Great, Em. Now I want doughnuts.” Serena lifted a spoonful of cereal and said, “Daph, you’re a mom. Can’t you cook?”

Daphne bit into her toast and shook her head. “But I can throw Cheerios on a tray really well.”

“That’s a skill that’ll hook a husband,” Chloe teased.

“I’m not looking to hook a husband. But I wouldn’t be opposed to a little romance in my life. We’re reading an erotic romance with the book club this month, and oh my God…” Daphne mouthed, Hot!

“Erotic romance?” Serena asked. “I thought book clubs read literary fiction.”

“Not ours.” Daphne pushed to her feet and brushed the crumbs from her sweater and jeans. “But then again, I’m not sure we’re considered a regular online book club since we meet once a month at different locations.”

“Whoever’s turn it is to select the book chooses the place we meet,” Chloe explained. “The only requirement is that there has to be a beach wherever we go. That’s why it’s called Oceanside Book Club.”

“What if you meet at the bay, or a river or cove?” Violet said absently.
