“Oh, my God, are you all right?” asked a handsome man, straddling a bright orange Jet Ski. “I’m so sorry, but I didn’t see you. What are you doing floating all the way out here by yourself?”

Ayana glanced around the vast body of water and didn’t see the beach. She had drifted out farther than anticipated. “I hadn’t planned on floating this far—guess the waves carried me away,” she said, treading water.

He reached out his hand to her. “Get on. I’ll take you back to shore, so you don’t have to swim so far.”

She brushed her hair out of her face, rubbed the salt water out of her eyes and looked up into his face. She couldn’t believe her eyes. Behind a pair of dark aviator shades was Brandon. “Uh…sure.” She took hold of his hand, climbed out of the water and settled on the back of the Jet Ski. Ayana wrapped her arms around his bare chest and held on tight as he sped off.

“Where are you staying?” he yelled.

With the Jet Ski creating a cascade of waves and the roar of the motor, she could barely hear him. “What’d you say?”

“I said where are you staying?” he asked more loudly.

“Just keep straight,” she responded, finally hearing him.

He doesn’t know it’s me.
