Alicia settled into the booth and scanned the restaurant to see if she’d been spotted. Working in Sarasota was so different from being in Los Angeles. In LA, paparazzi waited outside all the popular restaurants and clubs, waiting to see which celebrity guests would arrive. Here, a ponytail and sunglasses were enough to keep her mostly unnoticed. She spotted Rowan at the door and waved him over. He smiled as he walked her direction, and goose bumps rose on Alicia’s arms.

“Thanks for inviting me to dinner.” He slid into the booth across from her, picked up his water glass, and took a long drink. “What’s the occasion?”

She’d given him the view of the ocean behind her, but instead of watching the waves, his eyes focused on her.

“Does there have to be an occasion? You eat dinner every night, I eat dinner every night, and we’re in the same hotel.”

“And…” He leaned closer.

She chuckled. “And I just wanted to congratulate you on a great first week. I’ve been on enough sets to know that’s not always the case.”

“Thanks. I think it’s gone well too. I haven’t heard too many complaints.”

She brushed her hair over her shoulder. “Yes, and that’s because of the Amish woman. I still think everyone’s trying to be on their best behavior.”

“Maybe we should hire one for every set. Or you could just keep your costume and I could take you along with me.”

Alicia smiled at that thought, and she also remembered traveling with Rowan wherever he worked. The memories brought a mix of both joy and sadness. Alicia didn’t want to think of that now though. “Joy does have a calming presence to her, doesn’t she?”

The waiter came and they ordered salads, and then they discussed the show’s direction and what Rowan hoped to see in the future.

“Next week we’re going to be filming on the beach. The permits came through.”

“Oh!” Alicia clapped her hands together. “Will I get to wear a bikini? I haven’t had a chance to work on my tan since I’ve been here.”

“Oh, ja.” He emphasized the Amish word for yes. “We’ll have Georgia find one that complements your kapp.”

Alicia puckered her lips and placed one hand on the back of her head, as if pretending to touch a kapp and pose from side to side.

Rowan’s smile broadened. “Well, that’s one way to get attention for the show. I’m sure all the tabloids would love to see photos of that.”

Alicia nodded, and a warmth spread over her. She enjoyed bantering like this. She missed being with Rowan, and the last couple of weeks were a bright spot in the last year of heartache.

Rowan picked up the menu. “So do you know what you’re going to order?”

She didn’t need the menu to know she wanted the enchilada stack that she’d already had twice this week. And while she didn’t want to bring a dark cloud over the evening, there was something she wanted to talk to her estranged husband about too. Something she’d wanted to say since the day after she’d left Prague a year ago.
