PART SIXTEEN

It took them only an hour and a half to come to terms on an offer. They agreed that Liz would call Cat the next day and make an offer of one point five million dollars to Van Buren’s widow. They had agreed that they would go as high as one and three quarters if need be, Cass pitching in another quarter of a million to allow the remaining five hundred thousand for construction costs. The group agreed to meet again the following afternoon before Levi returned to work for lunch and to make some tentative plans if the offer was accepted. Once this was arranged, Levi, Vanessa and Cass left for their rooms.

When they reached the bungalow, Vanessa took out her cell phone and said, “I need to call Killian to let her know we have returned and to make sure everything went as planned today.”

“Do you know what you would like for dinner?” Levi asked.

“Something meaty,” Vanessa said with a grin.

“Alright then, while you talk to Killian I will order us some dinner,” Levi said.

Levi ordered the dinner to be served in the room and went to the bathroom in search of bubble bath. She opened a small drawer underneath the sink and found what she was searching for, a bottle of mulberry bubbles. She took the bottle out and placed it on the edge of the large garden tub along with several candles from the bedroom, while Vanessa talked with Killian.

All set in the bathroom, Levi joined Vanessa on the love seat where they relaxed until their dinner arrived. They feasted on steaks, salads and baked potatoes while they shared a bottle of wine. When the dinner was complete, Levi placed the food cart outside the door for pick up. She then poured each of them a glass of the wine and took Vanessa’s hand, leading her into the bathroom.

Levi started the bath and poured in the bubbles as Vanessa placed their wine glasses near the edge of the tub and they undressed. Levi carefully removed her brace and then stepped into the warm water, sitting across from Vanessa.

Vanessa handed her a wine glass and said, “Here’s to a great day and to the beginning of an amazing new adventure. Cheers.”

“Cheers,” Levi said and took a sip of the wine. “So my dear Captain,” Levi said. “How do you feel about me living out on the island alone for a couple of months?”

“The bigger question is do you feel comfortable with it?” Vanessa said.

“It may get rather lonely at night, but it seems to be a necessary sacrifice to insure the project remains on schedule,” Levi said.

“Well if the offer goes through you better plan on seeing me every other week when we return to Venus,” Vanessa said. “I will leave Killian in charge and fly over to be with you, as soon as I can.”

“That will make the offer much more appealing,” Levi said with a smile.

“Who knows, I may even take a week’s vacation.”

Levi’s face really lit up when Vanessa suggested a vacation.
