Chapter Eight

Dave’s Bistro was crowded despite the early hour, and Brenda scanned the crowd. She smiled to see that, and though she’d shown up fifteen minutes ahead of their five o’clock dinner, she wasn’t first to arrive.

Shay Sheraton was already seated at the center table in what locals referred to as the crow’s nest, a five-table enclave up a short flight of stairs. It was a little quieter, a bit away from the fray. Each cosseted diner had a perfectly framed view of the sun’s evening rays as they frosted picturesque Briarwood Harbor. To the south sat the boardwalk, to the north Green Hand, and ahead was the huge, city-run marina that housed most of the sailboats and smaller cruisers enjoyed by both locals and tourists.

Shay sat gazing out of the window, her glossy, burnished hair the most visible thing about her. Usually this section was reserved for bigwigs like the mayor, Chief Walton, commanders, judges, visiting movie producers and high-powered executives. As the head waiter led her through the mass of customers, tables, and servers to the crow’s nest, Brenda wished she’d taken another minute or two to read more about Shay. That good table wasn’t for Brenda, of that she was sure. So who exactly was Tami Sheraton’s sister?

In person and up close, Shay was even more gorgeous than her picture had suggested. Her strawberry-blond hair and whiskey eyes made for a striking combination, and her wide, warm smile was dazzling. Brenda had to work to concentrate on the banalities of polite greeting when Shay stood and offered a firm handshake. Her skin was cool and soft, her gaze clear and direct.

The pair made the usual introductions and exchanged pleasantries while they examined one another. Shay’s eyes were a deep, rich brown flecked with gold. Blinking away sudden nerves, Brenda told herself the light she saw in those dark orbs was nothing more than a phantasm born of sudden, surprising attraction.

Shaken by her physical response to Shay, Brenda was relieved to take her seat. She let her talk, offering little more than a polite smile and nods of encouragement until she could speak in a steady tone.

“Thank you for calling me back. How are you doing?”

The redhead smiled, dimpling prettily, and answered with words Brenda barely registered. She again let Shay’s voice flow over her agitation, in hopes the time would allow her to regain some equilibrium. But tension and awareness flowed through her, enervating her from the inside out.

She let herself acknowledge it: Shay was stunning. Her skin was smooth and unblemished, her hair a halo of glowing good health. Even her ears were pretty, delicate and pink. She had a slight overbite and perfectly white teeth. She had small hands with short nails and tapered fingers. Brenda took in the minutiae of her beauty with painfully tender attention.

Of course she’d been attracted to many women. She’d known she was lesbian since long before her high school years, and she’d always reveled in the myriad ways in which women could be beautiful.
