CHAPTER 15
âIâm going to my cabin to look at this video,â Sadie declared. âDo you want to come with me, or do you want me to take you to your cabin so you can check on Hunky Husband?â
Lacy waved her off. âI can find my own way.â
âI just watched a man flush birdseed out of your ear while you kicked your legs like a cartoon rabbit, so Iâm not taking any chances on letting you wander this ship.â
Lacy sighed. âYeah, I told you this wouldnât work.â She motioned to the bikini. âIâm not really the seductress type. Iâm more the birdseed-on-the-eardrum type.â
âThatâs your problem,â Sadie said.
âRogue birdseed? I know, they told me.â
âNo, not birdseed. Itâs the attitude. Youâve got all the right equipment.â She paused to flick her fingers at Lacy, encompassing the length of her. âYou donât know how to sell it. Itâs all about the attitude. Between the face and hair and body, you could own this ship.â
âAll I want is to be with my husband and not have him throw up.â She frowned. âThat came out wrong. You know what I mean.â
Sadie chuckled and gave Lacyâs shoulders a squeeze. âYeah, I do. Iâm sorry your honeymoon has been a bust so far, but there are a lot of days left. Itâll turn out okay, youâll see.â
Somehow when Sadie said it, with so much authority, Lacy believed her, and something inside her lightened a bit.
âSo, are you coming with me or going to your room?â Sadie prodded.
Something on deck caught Lacyâs attention, and she paused. âI thinkâ¦I think I want to do that.â She pointed.
Sadie followed the line of her gaze and saw a surfing simulator. âReally? Somehow that doesnât look like your scene.â
âItâs not, but thatâs kind of the point. I promised Jason I would do something adventurous today, something outside the box, and I donât think heâll accept forced birdseed flushing as an answer.â
âOkay,â Sadie said.
Lacy blinked at her. âYouâre going to let me, just like that?â
âWas I not supposed to?â Sadie said.
âUsually when I say I want to do dangerous things, people try to talk me out of it,â Lacy said.
âI figure youâre an adult who knows her own mind and capabilities, soâ¦â Sadie shrugged, nodding toward the surfing machine.
âHuh,â Lacy said. Now she wasnât certain she wanted to do it. Without the resistance of someone actively trying to prevent harm, she saw the danger for herself. She had trouble staying upright on a flat surface; should she really be trying to balance herself in moving water on a small board? On the other hand, she had promised Jason she would find an adventure. The boat only offered so much, and he would undoubtedly be pleased and surprised if she told him she sucked up her courage and tried surfing. âOkay, Iâm going to do it,â she declared.
âSuper. Looks like thereâs a bit of a line. Iâll go peruse this and come back for you.â
âOkay,â Lacy said, nodding distractedly as she headed toward the line.
The first thing she noticed was her age, at least ten years older than everyone else ahead of her.
