CHAPTER 13

A week dragged by when you weren’t having fun. Or when you were obsessing over a man. Like Heaven was. Maybe she’d misread Dylan’s signals that night at the club.

The same night everything changed.

In her mind and heart.

Had she made a mistake?

“It was just an act of kindness. That’s why I haven’t heard from him.”

At least she had a great view of the ocean while she wallowed in her misery.

The distant waves crashing against the shoreline caught her attention. Each white crest covered the wheat-colored sand, enticing the grains to join with it as it receded back into the salty water. Above the playful waves, sea gulls cried as they searched for nourishment, circling the water in hopes of finding their next meal.

She longed for the beach. Wanted to feel the warm sand between her toes. Feel the salt in the water as it splashed up her leg. Enjoy the gentle breeze as it rustled through her curls.

But leaving the condo meant risking a run-in with Zeke.

Fire churned in her stomach. Not the good kind, like when she thought about Dylan. More like acid churning.

Zeke was warped. Did he actually think she wanted his grimy hands all over her that night? And what if no one had been around? Would he have—?

“You over-think things, Hev.” Hope’s voice drifted from Chelsea’s room. “Maybe he is busy with the band.”

Maybe. But…

“If that is true, how have Scott and Layne found time to see you and Faith?”

“Because we’ve made ourselves available. You’ve holed up in this condo for the last week. Have you been anywhere?”

Heaven shrugged. She turned her back to the ocean as the wind whipped her hair about. “No. But can you blame me? After the crap Zeke pulled. What if I run into him and he asks about my relationship with Dylan?”

“Don’t worry about that idiot. If anything, I’d be afraid of him trying to break in here. I mean, if he’s friends with Chelsea and Kyle, he may know where she lives.”

Hope sure knew how to diminish a person’s fears.

Not.

Heaven drew in a breath until her lungs tickled. She faced the warmth of the sun. “Why do I attract all the crazy ones?”

And now Hope was laughing.

Siblings…

“You attract more than the crazy ones. I mean, look at Dylan. He isn’t crazy.”

“That we know of,” Faith added as she came walking through the bedroom toward the balcony.

Someone was chipper this morning.

Heaven opened her eyes to meet Faith’s. Hope’s eyes fell on Faith as well. Her brows seized above her nose. “How long have you been eavesdropping?”

“Not long. I have better things to do with my time,” Faith’s eyes rolled like sarcasm off her tongue. “I came to see if I could borrow your pink sundress, the one that ties around the neck?”

Hope crossed her arms. Her fingers tapped her skin. She finally nodded her head “Go ahead, but try not to get it dirty.”

Faith’s face puckered like a prune. “You act like I’m going to root with the pigs or something.
