CHAPTER 10

After Annie and Liam agreed to stay, the family of giants returned home, taking Penelope with them. Annie and Liam were left alone on the beach, which Annie thought was perfect.

“The shackles are off, the monsters are gone, and nothing dire is making us leave. Can we go for a swim now?” Annie asked Liam.

“I don’t know why not,” Liam said as he pulled his shirt off over his head.

When Annie took off her gown, she was careful to retrieve the blue stone that Nasheen had dropped down her back. Tucking it in her pocket with the rest of the gifts from the yetis, she folded the gown and set it above the tide’s reach.

Annie and Liam went swimming in their undergarments, laughing as they splashed each other, then swimming together in lazy circles. Suddenly Liam disappeared. A moment later, Annie felt a hand on her ankle and something jerked her under the water. She was relieved to see that it was Liam, and moved into his arms without protest. They kissed for as long as they could both hold their breath, then shot to the surface, laughing.

“You know,” Annie said after a while. “So far, this is the only part of our trip that’s anything like the way I envisioned our grand tour. I thought we’d spend long, lazy days relaxing and enjoying each other’s company, but it’s all been so hectic, and sometimes quite frightening!”

“I know it didn’t turn out at all as we’d planned,” said Liam. “I am sorry; I know it’s my fault.”

“Don’t you dare feel bad,” Annie told him. “This is just another of our adventures! Only, I do wish we knew that there was a way for us to get home in the end.”

“I swear to you, Annie,” Liam said, reaching for her hand. “I will find a way to get us home, even if it takes me years and years and—”

“Oh, you!” she said, laughing as she splashed him, starting yet another water battle.
