Chapter Thirteen

It was a quiet trip back to the boat. Sunburned and too much rum had made everyone sleepy, so their conversations were short with little laughter. Greer sat with Miles and I felt her gaze on me the entire time. I wondered what she was telling Miles.

Would she really go to the captain? How easy would it be to talk to him? Being the roommate of his niece might give Greer an in, but I couldn’t be sure if it was an empty threat or she’d already made plans to carry it out. And what would happen if she did? Would the captain throw me off the ship?

I had an image of me in a life preserver, floating among the waves as the ship leaves me stranded. It was not a pleasant vision.

I wished there was someone I could talk to about the worry that oozed through me.

Deep in thought, I was the last of the group to board the ship but to my surprise, they waited for me.

“So Sigalicious, what are we up to now?” Xander draped an arm around my shoulder. I noticed Greer’s frown out of the corner of my eye. Was she really upset that I was friends with Xander? Does she really hate me that much?

“I think I’m heading back to my room for a nap.”

“How boring!” Xander cried.

“But sounds like a good idea,” Miles said with a laugh. “We can regroup for drinks later before dinner.”

“But I’m thirsty now,” Xander whined and Miles slapped him on the shoulder.

“There’s a good bar on Deck 14 with a really cute bartender,” I said but instantly regretted the words. Will had waited for me there yesterday. Would he be there again today? What if he heard this group call me Siggy instead of Petra?

I groaned to myself. I had to tell Will who I was.

“Or there might be one closer to the dining room,” I rushed to add.

After a volley of suggestions, it was decided to meet at the wine bar near the dining room. I sighed with relief as Miles turned to me with an expectant smile.

“You’ll be there?”

“She’ll be having her nap and then going to bed early, won’t you, Siggy?” Greer said.

It was the smug smile that did it. If I was going down, it wasn’t going to be without a fight.

“I’ll be there,” I said brightly, baring my teeth with a smile of my own.
