CHAPTER 16

Please, Robert, Meg pleaded. Please, talk to me.

She stared out at the harbor tour boat bringing in a groups of tourists from a huge luxury liner anchored in the harbor. As the white boat swung noisily around the huge yachts, she turned and strode along the water, her sneakers scuffing at the wooden walkway.

I know you’re around. I know you are just doing all this to spite me.

Only the cries of some gulls hovering over the sparkling water came back in response.

I mean, isn’t there something we can do together? Can’t you at least help me through this insanity?

She was miserable. Even this morning, her mind continued to torment her with the images of those two young women draping themselves across the same shoulders she had so trustingly leaned against only moments before, down by the ocean.

She sighed and tried to push Evan Knight out of her mind, forcing herself to think of the discussion she’d had with Jada this morning. When Meg had spoken with her first thing, the young mother had said that the hospital had called saying that Little Ted was doing great, and that when Jada arrived, they’d take him in for the first of the tests.

But Jada had refused Meg’s offer of accompanying her this morning. She insisted on doing this alone--at least for the morning. She’d call Meg and leave a message if she wanted company later on.

After hanging up, Meg thought that Jada had sounded quite confident and self-assured. Definitely more confident than she was feeling right now.

“How can you be such a dip!” she muttered, unable to stop her thoughts from returning again to the events of last night. She watched a pair of sparrows skittering along the walkway and onto the grass, wrestling over a bit of stale bread that one of them had.

Evan Knight was a playboy and obviously had a different woman for every week of the year. Rich women, she corrected, remembering the comment one of them had made about her uncle’s place along Ocean Drive. There were only mansions along that winding stretch of road.

Meg knew what Rebekah would say in a situation like this. Have a good time! Who cares if he’s slept with every available female in town? Life’s a fling and then you die!

Good old Rebekah.

Jeez, maybe she’s right, Meg thought with a sigh. He’s a man and she’s a woman. He was certainly interested--that was clear enough. And she had definitely been living the life of a nun for the past five years. Meg felt a quiver in her belly at the thought of their few moments down by the ocean.

After all, it was ridiculous to expect that the first guy she got intimate with after Robert’s death would be Mister Right. Rebekah had a line for that, too. In the absence of the other, go for Mister Right Now. ‘Lasting Relationship’ was clearly not Evan Knight’s motto, so far as Meg could see. He was sexy, passionate, and knew exactly what to do to charm her out of her pants.
