In the past twenty-four hours, Mia had thrown up more than she had while pregnant with both of her children combined. Her back ached, and her guts coiled in unforgiving knots. What if she’d pulled over that night on Pelican’s Pass? What if she’d alerted the sheriff that something was wrong? She was beginning to think it was all her fault.

Nicole was missing

While rinsing her mouth in one of the resort’s bathrooms, Gwen strolled in wearing a Shady Oaks polo shirt identical to Gavin’s. A waitress pad still stuck out from the back pocket of her jean shorts, and her black backpack hung from one shoulder. Her eyes rounded on Mia. “What are you doing? Does Dad know you’re here?”

Mia patted her mouth with a paper towel. “I just dropped by to see how you’re feeling.”

“I’m done with my shift, but Heidi and some of the guys stopped by.” Gwen dropped her backpack on the counter. “I told them I’d change into my suit and hang out with them on Sandy for a while…if that’s okay.”

Mia’s mind raced. Had one of those guy friends fathered Gwen’s child? Did Heidi know what had happened, or had Gwen lied to her too? She took a deep breath, remembering Liz had warned that Gwen needed to face her consequences without her mom breathing down her neck.

With a smile, Mia leaned in to give her daughter a quick hug. “Sure,” she said, placing a trembling hand over her chest when Gwen leaned back. “Have fun, babe.”

Gwen threw her a questionable glance. “Are you okay?”

“I’m a little tired, and my back is bothering me more than usual.” She hated lying to Gwen, but there was no alternative given the situation. “See you tonight?”

“Umm…I’m probably gonna grab dinner at Key Largo with everyone and stick around for the band. I’ll be home by one.”

Mia held her gaze. “Take it easy, okay? No jet ski rides or wild horseplay. Your body still needs time to heal.”

“Yeah sure, weirdo.” Rolling her eyes, Gwen pushed through the door.
