“Was that a buzzing sound?” I ducked. With a quick glance around the area, I confirmed nothing was flying around me.

I let out a deep breath and straightened.

I was back at the place where James took me for our failed picnic last week. The last remaining item I had to get on the scavenger hunt list was a scenic picture from the local area. I instantly thought of the view from the cliff.

They had filmed a few of our scavenger hunt adventures, like finding a hot stone at the spa or locating a pink rose in the greenhouse. This contest was just one big, expensive advertisement for The Blue Spot.

I should have brought Sylvie with me, but as sweet as she had been, I needed a break. It was my day off from Hard Grind, and I wanted to get outdoors.

With the attention from the contest, I was able to hire another part-time barista. Hard Grind had more customers, and I hoped they didn’t go away once the contest was over. Our new barista began a few days ago, and Susannah took her under her press-on nail wings.

Now that I had a little more free time, I had hoped to run into James. Even coming here, I wondered if he might be here digging prickers out of his legs.

I giggled at the thought. He was wonderful but didn’t understand the first thing about the outdoors.

There was buzzing again, and I jumped. I didn’t want another bee episode.

When I came here the “keep out” sign was still there, but there was also a new gate to keep people out. Thankfully, whoever put up the gate hadn’t yet erected a fence, so I simply walked around it.

Someone probably found out they had trespassers and was tightening security. This would most likely be my last time to enjoy the view. I made a mental note to take a lot of pictures so I could remember the breathtaking view.

No more cliff and no more waterfall.

My cheeks warmed at the memories of James’s lips and fingers made at the waterfall. Would that be weird if I took some pictures of that, too? Probably, but I didn’t care. Only James and I would know what that waterfall meant.

I sighed. I missed him. It had been almost a week since I had seen him. I had hoped I’d run into him at The Blue Spot since I was temporarily living there, but every time I thought I found him, it turned out to be Monty or Rock. The tip off should have been those men wore suits, and James never did.

I guess I was just so desperate to see him that a man standing in a suit who looked like James from behind made my heart trip over itself in hope.

I took a few steps, and as I moved to the top of a small hill, what I witnessed shocked me. There were people in hardhats everywhere. About fifteen of them. This had been turned into a construction site.
