People are coming toward us. We need to end this conversation. We both know it. But I don’t think I’m strong enough.

“Until Tuesday, Rosey Williams,” he says.

A smile curls around my lips at the way he says my full name.

His smile matches mine, and I have to look away. It’s too much. Whenever he’s near, I always want more.

He turns and heads back down the path we just came from. I open the door and I turn to watch him down the path. He’s just about to step out of sight when he turns back and sees me watching him. I can’t help but laugh at getting caught.

The smile I see spread across his face tells me he knows exactly what I’m thinking.

THIRTY-FIVE

Byron

I know Hazel is talking at me, I just can’t hear what she’s saying, My mind is too full. I check my watch again. Six twenty. The first shuttle bus with guests for the town party should be on its way by now, ready to arrive for six thirty. But there’s another bus that will leave from behind the library around now. I have no idea if there’ll be anyone on either bus.

I shouldn’t care. If no one turns up, I’ll save money on booze and I can head back to the cabin for an early night. The thing is, I do care.

Kathleen messages me, asking me where I am. I reply I’m in the ballroom and instantly she appears.

“Byron, hey, I have some good news for you.”

Is she about to reveal she’s got the ability to teleport?

“Your chalet is ahead of schedule,” she says. “And before you complain that I’ve prioritized it over some of the member chalets, I haven’t. They’re all ahead of schedule. We had a shipment of the marble we’re using in the bathrooms come in early. So you’ll be able to move in before the grand opening.”

Her eyes search my face, waiting for my thrilled reaction. I haven’t told her about my change of plans yet. She’ll either be delighted or pissed beyond measure.

“Thank you, Kathleen,” she deadpans, “you’re amazing. I’m going to give you a bonus for finishing my chalet early.”

“Sarcasm doesn’t suit you.”

She shrugs. “But it fits like a glove. What are you about to tell me? I know it’s something I’m not going to like.”

I glance at the door, willing people to arrive. “I’ve just bought some land,” I confess.

“You want to build more chalets?” she asks.

“I’m not quite sure what I want to build,” I reply. “There are two cabins on the land at the moment.”

“Is it guest accommodations?” she asks.
