Chapter 7

Liz

One moment I’m deep in a swamp of self-pity. The next, his lips are on mine and it's like a drug courses through my veins. I find myself kissing him back, my hand reaching for the back of his head to pull him in deeper. My tongue is just reaching forward to break the barrier that is my lips when he pulls away suddenly and the car swerves to the right. A trailing horn beside us has both our hearts beating. Neither of us realized that Michael had drifted into the other lane during our not-swift-enough kiss.

I can just barely hear his breath over the heartbeat pounding in my ears. In just one moment, everything has changed. All thoughts of what I would do when I came in for work tomorrow, not even the faintest bit sick, have been erased. I’m no longer wondering whether I’ve made the right decision in following this perfect stranger. Gone are all doubts that this is going in any way but one direction: a lust-fueled embrace while we’re out at sea alone. Images of what this might entail flash through my mind, but Michael’s voice cuts across them, bringing me back to reality.

“Sorry about that,” he says. Something inside of me falls, like a heavy weight is suddenly latched around my heart. I’m sure that he’s feeling the opposite from me. That he’s regretting every decision that has led him up to this point. That kiss must have had the opposite effect on him: sobering him up to the horrid mistake he’s just made. Now, looking over at plain me, Michael has realized the colossal mistake he’s just made. That’s what has brought him to apologize for the kiss. But then, when all my hope is about to fly out the window, he adds, “I’m usually a really good driver, I swear.”

“It’s fine,” I say, licking at my lips, remembering where they were just seconds ago.

“Anyway,” he says and puts on the blinker. “We’re almost there.”

We turn off at the next exit. After five minutes of staring out the window at the changing scenery, the ocean finally pops out to greet us. Michael parks the car at a marina called Liberty Harbor. When he shuts off the car, he looks over at me and asks, “You ready for a little adventure?” He’s got a wild smile pulling at the corners of his lips, like he’s a little boy about to show me a fort he’s built in the forest.

But the fort at the end of the pier is far more than a few sticks leaned against a tree. This isn’t some tiny sailboat. It’s a yacht named Seas the Day. The wordplay makes me snort out a quick puff of air.

“What?” Michael asks in defense. “You’re not one of those people who pretend to hate puns, are you?”

“Who said anything about pretending?” I ask coyly. But the truth is that I can hardly say anything at the sight of the ship Michael is currently helping me step onto.
