Maddie’s eyes popped open as her room lightened with the rising sun. She jumped out of bed and hurriedly showered, brushed her hair, and got dressed in the same red-and-white-striped sundress Zack had bought her. It fit her better than his sister’s clothes, and he’d seemed to like it on her. She smiled, thinking of the appreciative look in his eyes. He seemed to really like it on her.

She was excited to see Zack again this morning, and anxious to find the packet of papers from her father. Would she finally know why her father had never had time for her? Maybe there was something in the papers that would exonerate him in her eyes. A girl could hope.

Rushing down the hallway, she stopped short when she entered the great room. Zack and Brooks were each on a couch, sprawled out and sleeping like the dead. She laughed. Glancing around at the ocean, she was relieved not to see any sign of her father’s yacht. She didn’t think Bello would come back here, but who knew?

She walked into the kitchen, found some pancake mix and eggs, and started cooking. The cheesecake in the fridge looked fabulous. She let herself have a small bite of the swirled orange-and-white cake. Mango. Yum. Zack was going to have to share that recipe.

Grabbing a pan and metal ladle, she banged them together several times, giggling to herself. Zack sat upright, then swayed back down into the cushions. Brooks grabbed his head. “What’s with all the racket, woman?”

“Breakfast,” she said sweetly.

“I don’t know if I can ever eat again. Never gorge on cheesecake and then sleep on a stinking couch,” Brooks growled.

“I’m blaming you,” Zack said. “I told you it needed at least twelve hours to set up properly.”

Maddie laughed at the two of them stretching and looking beat up from the bad night’s sleep. “Go shower quick so we can eat and find my packet.”

“Wow.” Brooks’ eyebrows shot up. “Kiss her nonstop and she becomes a demanding, noisy diva. I think you should cease and desist, my man.”

“Not a chance.” Zack grinned at her.

Maddie laughed and turned back to flip the pancakes. “Shower. Now.”

Zack chuckled and Brooks grumbled all the way out of the room. A few minutes later they were both back to scarf down the simple breakfast she’d made and some of the exotic fruit she’d cut up. “Do you go into Belize for supplies?” Maddie asked Zack.

He nodded. “But I grow a lot of produce right here.”

“Impressive.”

Zack pumped his eyebrows. “That’s not the only impressive thing about me.”

“I know that.”

“Enough of this garbage.” Brooks shoved back from the counter and took his plate to the sink. “Do we need scuba gear to find this package or just masks and snorkels?”

“I think we’ll be okay with masks and snorkels.” Zack squeezed her hand but focused on his friend.

Maddie had only eaten a few bites of eggs and pancakes, but she didn’t have much of an appetite. The worry over finding the packet, what might be in the packet, and Bello coming after them again was wearing on her.
