Chapter 10

“ ‘Ohana’ means family. ‘Family’ means no one gets left behind.”

Lilo, Lilo & Stitch

Ronan didn’t know what the hell to do with that damn dog. It followed him everywhere and then whined and carried on when Ro had the audacity to try to leave it on the other side of the bathroom door.

There were a few rescue places in and around Port Hardy that might be able to take it, but there was no way Ro or any of them had the time to boat over there until Saturday afternoon. Another option was to try to convince one of the pilots to take it, but the first scheduled flight in or out of the Buoys wasn’t until Thursday morning, when Hope and her crew flew out again. And since Gavin had been the one flying them in and out to this point, it was a safe bet it’d be him again, which meant the dog wouldn’t get anywhere near that plane.

The only other options would be to get it out when the Helijet came to pick up Dave Roth on Wednesday or to find room on the Cessna when it came to pick up a load of guests on Thursday. No matter how Ro looked at it, he’d be stuck with the dog for at least a couple of days, which meant he shouldn’t count on getting much sleep in the meantime. How the hell a little dog like that could take up so much space on a bed was beyond Ro.

He shouldn’t have let it up on the bed in the first place, but it was either that or listen to it whine all night. Not that Ro slept very well anyway, not after that thing with Hope last night. He still couldn’t believe how it all went down, and a big part of that was because she’d surprised the hell out of him.

It wasn’t the crazy bits of knowledge she threw at him that were so surprising—he’d sort of come to expect that; it was the way she walked into the kitchen so nervous and skittish and then turned into that no-bullshit chick who just wanted a straight answer.

If he didn’t already think she was something else, that right there would have won him over. It took brass to do what she did, and if she hadn’t walked into his kitchen last night and laid it all out there, he couldn’t honestly say that conversation ever would have happened. He liked her, sure, and he knew Jessie had been right about him basically blaming every woman for shit they had nothing to do with, but that’s who he was now, and he’d learned that it was so much easier to play it safe, to inch toward the line but never actually cross it.

Which was exactly what he’d been doing with Hope. Inching. But then she’d gone and called bullshit on him, and he hadn’t expected that. By the time he’d found his balance again, his instincts were already
