Chapter 16

MONTE CARLO. The very name was enough to have Ryan grinning in anticipation, bringing to mind glamour and cars and movie stars. He still couldn’t quite believe that he was getting to go there. It turned out that his disbelief was well-founded. When he arrived at Nice airport, ready for the transfer to Monte Carlo, he found out the Monte Carlo Masters actually took place in France. The venue was only a few miles from Monte Carlo, but that wasn’t really the point.

While that had been a bit of a blow, Ryan found many reasons to love the place he had ended up in. Perhaps it didn’t have the same romantic associations with luxury yachts, fast cars, and actresses, but it was beautiful. The hotel was set in acres of stunning gardens overlooking the sparkling ocean, and his room had a view out to where white yachts danced on blue waves in the sunshine. And the courts at the country club went the rest of the way to help him recover from his disappointment. The deep red of the clay courts called to him in a way that neither hard courts nor grass did. He loved the way clay played. Being able to slide into balls suited him down to the ground; he was able to keep on his feet far more easily on clay than he could on hard courts or grass.

Much as he loved playing on clay, when Josh walked into his hotel room that evening, it suddenly became clear to Ryan that he loved something else more. He almost stopped breathing at the realization. It was only the fact that Josh moved in close and kissed him to say hello that stopped him from blurting it out then and there.

“You look like a stunned mullet,” Josh said, finally relinquishing Ryan’s mouth long enough to take a step back and look at him properly. “You okay?”

“Yeah,” Ryan said happily. “More than okay.” He wasn’t going to say anything yet. Not until he had come to grips with the fact he was in love for the first time in his life, if he didn’t count kindergarten; Maurice Pendergrass the Third not only had the coolest name four-year-old Ryan had ever heard, but he’d also had the best cookies.
