Chapter 7

“Hey, Layla!”

Layla glanced over her shoulder to see Desiree hurrying in her direction. “Hey. Whatsup?” she asked barely slowing down.

“I wanted to know how your day went and if you wanted to join me and Lincoln for dinner.”

“Oh,” she stopped short, turned to look at Desiree with a grin on her face. “I’m having dinner with Maurice Lawson.”

Desiree’s brows shot up in perfect symmetry. “Mr. tall, dark and broodingly handsome?”

“Yep.”

“Get outta here. You must have put some of that massage mojo on the brother. I haven’t seen him with a soul since he’s been here. To be truthful other than spotting him alone on the beach or maybe grabbing a drink…” Her voice trailed off.

“Did you know that he was a Lawson cousin?”

Desiree frowned. “No, I didn’t, but I see that you do,” she added with a wry grin. “How did you find out?”

They reached the end to the path before it split up toward the cottages.

“One of your guests, Kim Fleming, came into the salon while he was there. She recognized the family resemblance. Of course she mentioned Rafe.”

Desiree laughed. “Who doesn’t mention Rafe if they know him?”

“Touché. Anyway, it seemed to upset him for some reason.”

“Hmmm, I could probably ask Melanie. She would know. She’s close with the Lawsons. Funny, I never put the family thing together. Like I said, I haven’t really seen him that much and one of the staff checked him in. But even from a distance I can tell that the man is fine—with a capital F.”

Layla laughed. “You are so right.” She checked her watch. “I gotta run. We’re meeting up at eight.”
