CHAPTER 14

Mason met me at the edge of the highway, smiling. He looked classy in a tailored charcoal-coloured suit with a white shirt, a shiny black tie, and what looked like really expensive dress shoes that were getting dusty from the sand.

“You look exquisite,” he spoke closely into my ear so I could hear over the sound of the helicopter.

I smiled and mouthed, Thank you.

He kissed my cheek and then scooped me up to carry me across the beach. I held on tightly around his neck and turned my face towards his chest because the helicopter blades were spinning and the wind whipped sand at us. When we reached the dock, he put me down and held my hand to escort me into the helicopter. He shut the door and we were in the air before I even had enough time to consider the potential danger. Definitely outside my comfort zone. Sophie would have been proud.

My life felt crazy, like I was spiralling out of control in a whirlwind of bizarre events. The party, the highway washout, kissing Trevor in Vancouver, and then literally lifting off the beach with a millionaire playboy in a helicopter. It was surreal. I took a deep breath and exhaled slowly to try to ground myself in reality. It didn’t really work. I still felt like I was in a dream, which was enforced by the fact that the view from the helicopter was mind-blowingly spectacular. Although I’d lived in Britannia Beach my entire life, I had never seen it from that perspective—like a painting with azure skies, sapphire mountaintops, emerald old-growth rain forest, and turquoise-and-jade water. The helicopter banked from side to side as we followed the coastline towards Vancouver.

Mason touched my knee and pointed out the window on his side. I leaned over to see what he was showing me. It was a pod of Orca whales breaching below us. It was so cool. Mason smiled with the whitest and straightest teeth I had ever seen. He reminded me of the Ken doll I used to make my Barbie kiss when I was little.

The helicopter banked again and we flew over the towering trees towards the North Shore. In what seemed like an impossibly short amount of time, the city appeared in the distance. We skimmed over the buildings and then hovered above one of the high-rises downtown. The pilot lowered the helicopter and landed on the roof of the building, then turned off the blades.

Mason climbed out first and helped me step out. “That was incredible.” I beamed.

“Not a bad way to travel, I have to admit.”

“Where are we?”

“My office. Do you want to see where I work?”

“Definitely.”

Mason spoke with the pilot to tell him what time to pick us up and then tugged my hand to rush me into the building before the blades started whirling again. We took an elevator down just one level and it opened up into a lobby that looked like a five-star hotel. One of the walls was entirely covered in slate and water cascaded down it in a waterfall.
