Chapter Ten

A couple of hours later and the fierce heat was finally seeping from the day. The sky had transformed from its stunning, cloudless blue into a melting, yet no less beautiful, mixture of reds, oranges, pinks, and purples. They’d long since upped anchor on the yacht and, according to Arjun, were heading to the pier they’d set off from. At the rate they were going, it’d be almost dark by the time they got back. Arjun didn’t seem concerned, so Mia put it out of her mind and concentrated on enjoying herself.

She was playing cards on the lower deck with the rest of the gang, who’d been both gobsmacked and distraught at missing out when she and Arjun had recounted the story of their dolphin encounter. She was chilled out and content, and her attention wandered from the game, to the scenery floating by as they grew closer to land once more, to the three men, and back again.

Thomas met her eye and said, “So, how’s your day been, Mia? Enjoyed it?”

She nodded. “Yes, yes, a hundred times yes. I couldn’t have asked for a better birthday.”

Alex burst out, “It’s not over yet, baby!”

Mia, Thomas and Elias snapped their heads towards him, and Elias hissed, “Shut up, Alex! That was supposed to be a surprise!”

Only mildly abashed, Alex said, “Well, it still is a surprise, isn’t it, because Mia doesn’t know what the it is!”

“I suppose,” Elias replied with a roll of his eyes. “But you’ve ruined the surprise about the surprise, because Mia’s now expecting it. You and your big mouth.”

“Sorry.” Alex did look apologetic now. He lazily scratched at his stubble, which was actually more of a beard now. She wondered how much longer he would last before shaving it off. He’d end up with weird tan lines on his face, too, if he kept it. “I couldn’t help myself. I’m excited, that’s all. Sorry, Mia,” he turned his gaze on her, “I didn’t mean to ruin your surprise about the surprise. Try not to think about it, okay?”

A snort escaped her. “Yeah, like that’s going to happen. Now I know something’s going on, I’ll be trying to work out what it is.”

“And that,” Elias put in wryly, “is why I’ve now learnt to keep surprises a surprise. Saves a shit-ton of pestering and questions along the way.”

“I could’ve told you that,” Thomas said with a slow shake of his head. “We probably ought to put together some kind of document. Hints and tips about how to deal with Mia Harrington. Could save us all a lot of trouble.”

“You’ll all be in a lot of trouble if you don’t be quiet,” Mia piped up, shooting Thomas a dark look.

He chuckled. “Just winding you up, sweetheart.”

“You’re always winding me up—all of you. Can’t you lay off it a bit? It’s my birthday. I think I should get some kind of respite.” She stuck out her bottom lip, pretending to sulk.

“All right,” Thomas replied amiably, sitting back in his chair.
