What had gotten into her? What was she doing here, with him?

Neha darted a look at the well-built man standing a few feet from her on the wooden pier.

The drive to the east coast had been one loaded with tension. Logan had picked her up an hour earlier. Since they’d be spending the night, he’d reasoned they’d come and leave together; she wouldn’t need to drive all the way to and fro when they could both travel in his X6.

It would’ve been pointless to say no. She’d maybe escape the trip to the coast, but she wouldn’t be able to escape the boat trip to the island where the resort sat and the evening she’d have to spend in his company, with the ceremony and the party afterward.

An island. They’d cross water, leaving solid earth. She’d heard of the Clover Leaf Resort; what Mauritian didn’t know of the hotel located on a jutting piece of rock off the east coast of the main island? But in her mind, the place had been located a plank’s distance from mainland, a few minutes’ walk.

To her surprise and utter dismay, she’d found out the resort was a full ten minutes’ boat ride away from the coast, from the pier on which they stood awaiting the skipper who’d take them across the small channel.

Neha kept thinking of an ancient piece of lore her mother and aunts had always spoken about in the past. For some things to happen, one needed to leave solid ground and go over water.

A stupid superstition, really, but in her current state, she couldn’t help but feel it contained a whopping wallop of truth and certainty for her.

And then, once on the rock, she’d be alone with Logan, away from the world as they knew it, from the parameters shaping their everyday lives.

How could she not be scared out of her wits?

The time came for them to board the speedboat. Logan went in first, and then, he offered her his hand to help her lower herself onto the craft.

Her gaze onto his upturned palm, she hesitated.

Don’t do this. You will not be able to return.

“Come on, Neha,” he said when she remained rooted to her spot. “Trust me.”

She closed her eyes. She didn’t want to hear this, because if he asked her to place her trust in him, she might be too tempted to do just that. The tension-filled game he’d been playing with her nerves and her whole countenance for the past few weeks had taken their toll on her, and she couldn’t even trust herself anymore.

Once she forced her eyes open, she found her hand in his warm grip, and, as she stepped onto the boat, he reached out and wrapped an arm around her waist, his solid muscles bracing her to him as the boat roared from the pier and took them to the rock sitting on the edge of the horizon.

The place where she would lose herself, she couldn’t help but think with dread, and worse, anticipation.
