“Did you forget?” Andie asked, biting into the bagel. “We have the walking tour of the resort this morning.”
“I thought we were doing paintball.” Kat took a seat across from them.
“That’s tomorrow.” Andie held up her itinerary. “I hope you two remembered to bring these down with you. We need to finish filling them out.”
“Hard to forget when someone yells a reminder through your door at seven forty-five in the morning,” Kat grumbled. Her face brightened as she began to read off the list of activities. “Ooh, they have cookie baking! And a wine and paint night.”
“You’re not going to want to miss that one,” Zach announced. He bent to kiss Kat’s cheek. “Morning, gorgeous.”
“You’re not looking so bad yourself,” Kat observed, blatantly checking out his backside as he sat down next to her. “Does this mean you plan on doing the wine and paint night too?”
“I guess you could say that.” White teeth flashed. “I’m going to be posing.”
“In the classic style?” Patrick asked.
“By which he means ‘naked,’” David clarified.
“Sign up and find out.” Zach grabbed a sausage off Kat’s plate and winked.
“You’re on.” David’s lip curled in a playful smirk. He and Patrick took out their schedules and began filling it in, laughing softly together.
“What’s so funny over here?” a voice asked from behind Julia.
Luke.
“Is this seat taken?” He nodded at the one next to her.
She shook her head, flushing. She was supposed to call him Lance. But it was no good. Even though she had known him for less than twenty-four hours, in her mind, he was Luke. And in her mind, Luke had been about to get her off this morning. Julia gulped her coffee, not caring that the hot liquid seared her throat. She needed the caffeine to jolt her back to reality.
“Hey.” Luke waved a hand in front of her. “Everything okay?”
“Sorry.” Julia blinked, realizing he’d been talking to her while she was thinking about—“I was just thinking.”
“About what?”
Her gaze snagged on his hand and her belly clenched. She winced internally. Of course he would ask that question; it was a perfectly logical response to her statement. “Oh, about the week ahead.” There. That was honest enough.
“Have you finished filling out your itinerary yet?” he asked.
“Not yet.” Unable to stop herself, her gaze drifted to Luke’s hands again. They were big hands. Long fingers wrapped around a bottle of iced coffee, thumb lazily moving back and forth, wiping at the condensation on the glass. Julia swallowed. She doubted the activity she’d been considering was listed. “What about you?” she asked. “What are you interested in doing?”
“I’m curious about these bonus choices,” Kat chimed in. “It looks like we get to pick one personalized activity.”
“See anything you like?” Zach purred.
