Grant looked out one of the windows in the VIP section, staring at the gray waters while Maddie made up a new batch of rehydration drink across the room. He wondered how much progress they’d actually made toward the mainland. And while he was thankful they were still alive, all he could see was miles of the ghostly sea—with no signs of any of the surrounding islands.

“Maddie was right about this not being over.” Antonio said, stepping up beside him. “You’ve noticed how the engine keeps stopping and starting.”

“Yes?” Grant wasn’t sure he liked where the conversation was going.

“Apparently the captain is having engine trouble, though no one is really saying what’s going on. Rumors are that there’s water in the oil. But whatever the problem, the fact that the engine keeps cutting out speaks volumes.”

“So what do we do?” Grant asked.

“There’s nothing we can do. Not at the moment, anyway.”

Grant frowned, but knew his friend was right. While his first response was always to fix things, he’d learned that forcing things to happen didn’t always work on this side of the world.

“How’s Maddie doing? Antonio asked.

Grant glanced across the room where she sat beside Ana. “The encounter with those men really shook her up, but she’s strong. A lot stronger than even she thinks.”

He’d been impressed by her fortitude, especially when her own life had been at risk. Instead of running, she’d shown incredible courage. Something that made him want to get to know her even more.

“She’s also perfect for you.”

Grant looked at Antonio, surprised by his bluntness. Maybe he’d rubbed off too much on his friend. “Maddie?”

“Don’t act all surprised,” Antonio said. “You don’t think I haven’t noticed the way you look at her, and the way she looks back? The two of you have this connection. And if you ask me, she’s exactly what you need.”

“I don’t know.” He tried to shrug off the comment. “It’s been years since I saw her, and to me she’s always been my best friend’s little sister. Friends only.”

And besides, just because he was attracted to her didn’t change the choices he’d made in life. Family and a wife weren’t exactly on the radar.

“Well, just in case you didn’t notice,” Antonio said. “His little sister’s all grown up.”

Grant smiled. “Oh, trust me, I’ve noticed, but I came to keep a promise to her brother. Nothing more.”

“So? What woman doesn’t dream of some hero coming to their rescue?” Antonio leaned back and folded his arms across his chest. “The problem is that, while you might have rescued her, you’re far too stubborn to see the possibilities outside your little world. Remember the last time my wife invited you over for dinner?”

Grant’s brow rose, uncertain as to where his friend was going with his question. “I remember she made my favorite chicken dish with onions and lemon.”

“It’s called yassa.” Antonio chuckled. “I also remember she said it was about time you found yourself a wife.”

“I’m not looking for a wife.”

“Why? Because one girl broke your heart?”

“No, because.
