Chapter Seventeen

Playing with Ice and Fire

When they made it back to Ashgrove, Liam stuffed his cartons of ice cream in the freezer. He wasn’t in any true hurry to depart; it was already dark out, so what was the point? Instead of rushing to drive back to a dorm that wasn’t home to two beautiful women, he enjoyed the time he spent with Avril and Anna, including those promised leftovers. Anna didn’t ask too many questions about how things had gone at Carver’s, which Liam was thankful for. The less he needed to bend the truth, the better his conscience felt. Even if he now believed that Anna was more or less aware of how intimate his relationship with Avril was.

It was an odd wrinkle in everything, and Liam wasn’t sure what, if anything, he ought to do about it.

“By the way, don’t forget about that,” Avril said, pointing her spoon at the board near the kitchen table.

“I haven’t,” he said, which was the understatement of the year. “I’m going to be spending a fair number of my points before I go.”

“Oh? Consider my interest piqued. Where does our decider want to go? He’s finally figured it out?”

“You’ll see,” he said, which caused her to puff a cheek out. He didn’t speed up how quickly he finished his plate, even if he aligned more with Avril’s impatience than he let on. He was curious how she’d respond to the ploy he was about to enact, even if he couldn’t let her in on precisely what he was after.

After finishing his dinner, then intentionally delaying things by helping Anna clear the plates and get everything cleaned up in the kitchen, he found Avril waiting for him near the mounted whiteboard, twirling the lone marker between her fingers. Eyebrow arching, as if she expected he’d ultimately underwhelm her with whatever ploy he was working, she tossed it to him. After catching it, popping off the top, and using his body to shield Avril’s sight, which earned him a snort, he started with the points he owed to Victoria’s ideal destination.

Fiji’s thirty-five became forty-seven—twelve points for the small collection of pictures he’d received over the week. But then his eyes focused on the other destinations, which now seriously lagged behind Victoria’s preferred location. He had points to burn, a lot of them. And for his plan to bear fruit, he needed to make a splash tonight; there were only two more weekends of this.

So, Bora, Bora jumped from twenty-five to forty, and then Maldives rocketed up from twenty to forty. Hot on the heels of the place Victoria wanted to visit, both. But more importantly, and the main key to all this, it reduced his remaining points to spend from a hundred and thirty down to eighty-three.

Let’s hope this pays off in the way I’m hoping, Liam thought, wishing he had a little more confidence in how things would work out.

After he finally put down the marker, Avril shooed him out of the way, then examined his decisions.
