Serenity spent the late afternoon hours going over every inch of the houseboat she’d inherited. Not only because it was her new home, but also because she was searching for clues about the aunt she’d never met. The father lost to her in her infancy. Everything from the coffee cups to the tiny sea shell guest soaps. And the clothes. “You were quite the hippie, Auntie,” she murmured, finding tie-dye shirts and a fringed jacket that had to date back to the 1960s. Handmade candles. A beaded curtain separating the galley from the smallish living/dining space. The bedroom was a loft, only a few feet from the ceiling so she had to crawl onto the mattress which lay on the floor but when she did, when she lay on her back, a round, porthole-like skylight lay directly above her face. Wow. Just wow.

The blankets and pillows had an exotic scent, maybe from incense or maybe something else burning in the place. Something only recently legal for recreational use in California. But it made her feel good, feel as if the first Serenity was still here in some way, as if she could know her. Tugging a comforter from the foot of the bed over her, she curled into a warm, comfortable ball and closed her eyes, just for a moment.

When she opened them, she looked up at a dark sky filled with pinpoints of light. How beautiful. Like diamonds scattered on black velvet. Stretching, Serenity was overwhelmed with peace, and comfort. Then she looked again and sat straight up, bonking her head. What time was it? Rubbing her head, she crept to the ladder and scrambled down to the main floor of the boat. To her relief, the clock over the stove showed she still had time, not much but some, before her date arrived. If not for the fact she’d already agreed to go and that she did sort of have the hots for the Viking attorney—okay Griffin probably wasn’t a Viking name but he had the look— she’d be just as happy to spend her first evening at home alone.

But those facts did exist so she changed into a pair of jeans and a pretty white lace top, black boots with silver toes, brushed her hair out and plaited just a tiny braid in the front to keep the sea breeze from blowing her hair into her eyes, and hoped she’d guessed the level of formality for the evening correctly.

Serenity watched out the window for Ryan to descend the gangplank from his yacht/houseboat. If he was in another one of those amazing suits she would change at least to a skirt, but as the time drew near, she was pleased to see she’d guessed correctly. Her date wore jeans as well.

He knocked on the door, and she waited a beat before grabbing her jacket and purse and opening it. “Good evening, neighbor,” she chirped, feeling silly as she said it, but his smile was broad and friendly.

“Lovely night, isn’t it?” He took her jacket from her and held it up.
