Chapter Sixteen

The road to the lost islands wasn’t like Dani’s other roads. It was like driving in a glass tunnel, and sea life moved all around them. Meg buzzed with anticipation as she watched Dani concentrate. She had no idea why she knew this was where Dani would find answers, but just the same, she knew the old island gods could help. Dani braked, and the road ahead of the Mustang simply stopped.

“Problem?” Meg tried to see what was beyond the car, but it was just…wasn’t. There was nothing; no drop-off, no cliff or wall. It was almost like a still, grayish-blue fog. “What’s out there?”

Dani looked to where Meg was pointing. “It’s the area between. It only takes shape when it’s created to do so. I haven’t needed this area, so I’ve never bothered. I can’t get a proper read on the island. I think they may have faded.” She closed her eyes again, and her brow furrowed. “Got it.” She waved and a road appeared to the left.

“What’s above us right now? If we just popped to the surface?”

“About a mile of Pacific Ocean. Probably wouldn’t be a good idea to check it out.”

Dani smiled at her, and Meg’s heart raced in response. “Would you take me surfing one day?”

Dani glanced at her, clearly surprised. “Sure, if you wanted to. But I didn’t think it was really your thing.”

Meg thought about it. “I don’t know if it’s my thing or not. I admit, even though I’ve watched other people do it, I never wanted to try. Too much salt makes my feathers itch and my snakes shed. But I really like the thought of being out on the water with you.” Dani looked so serious Meg wondered if she’d overstepped somehow.

“Yeah. I’d like that. And if you don’t like it, we’ll put you on a boat instead.”

Meg laughed. “I love boats. There’s nothing like sunbathing out on the open ocean. There was this goddess, once, who owned a yacht she berthed in Morocco. Massive thing. The boat, not the goddess, obviously. We spent three months just cruising around the Med. I mean, I had to come and go because of work, but it was amazing downtime. She had a forked tongue, and oh my god, the things she could do with it.”

Dani laughed. “And how did that end?”

“You know, I’m not sure. I think she might have met someone in one of the countries we stopped in.” Meg thought back, trying to remember. “There weren’t any emotional ties or anything, you know, I just made my way home. I was living in France back then, and there were plenty of people willing to lower their knickers.” When Dani didn’t say anything, Meg realized she might have stepped in it. “I’m sorry. Does it make you uncomfortable when I talk about sex?”

Dani shook her head. “Definitely not. I like hearing about your life when I wasn’t around. You’re so passionate. So…everything.” The road began to ascend. “Did you ever
