CHAPTER 34

“How am I still cold?” Cam held the reflective, mylar blanket around herself as they trudged down the pier and toward their bungalow. The place that would be home for another few days yet.

Fab, her arms around Cam’s shoulders, rubbed her aching muscles. She was doing her best to get Cam warm. Something she never imagined she’d need help with on a tropical island in the summer.

“I might have to borrow your parka,” Cam joked.

“I can’t believe you stayed down there so long.”

Cam smiled. “I told you I can hold my breath like a champ.”

Fab shook her head. “It was dangerous. What if you passed out?”

“But I didn’t,” Cam reminded, eager to get back into their secluded paradise. “And we won. You really are the puzzle queen.”

Fab glanced at her as they walked over the wooden planks, huddled together as if she wanted to transfer all the warmth from her body. “Without oxygen—”

“We won, okay? Let’s celebrate that instead of worrying. I got the all-clear from the paramedics.” She didn’t add that her body felt like she’d been hit by a train, and her head was pounding like a baby velociraptor was trying to hatch from her skull. “Didn’t I win your dessert? When are they sending dinner?”

Cam had barely finished her joke when Fab spun on her heels and started jogging toward the production van parked at the end of the dock.

“I was kidding,” she muttered, speaking only to herself since Fab was already halfway to the van.

Even without being able to hear her, she knew Fab was aggressively procuring food for them. With her hands across her chest and her body still and rigid, Fab had to say very little to get her point across.

Cam couldn’t control the swell in her chest lifting her off the pier like a hot air balloon. Behind Fab’s stoic, woman-of-few-words, unblinking-looks-that-can-kill exterior was the most ferociously protective and loving person she’d ever met.

More than once she’d imagined Fab like a battle-scarred shield-maiden rushing into battle. Her eyes fierce and focused. She was silent while her warriors-in-arms were shouting war cries. She didn’t need anything other than her approach to strike fear in the heart of her enemies. Watching Fab unfurl her protective energy like feathery Valkyrie wings, Cam was sure nothing bad could touch her.

“It’s on its way,” Fab announced as she jogged up to her. “They’re sending three of those white chocolate mousse things with extra blackberries and—”

Cam dropped her reflective blanket and threw her arms around Fab’s waist, pulling her in. Fab allowed herself to be moved, folding like silk into Cam’s arms. Aware of the prying eyes, Cam couldn’t help herself. She was tired of the hiding. Of the sneaking around.

The space between them was so small. So infinitesimal. Close enough for Cam to feel the warmth of Fab’s breath, smell the scent of her dried sweat and lingering perfume, see the quiver in her lips.

Without giving a shit about the cameras hidden all around them, or the crew in the van, or the producers watching everything they did.
