“Correct. Aria has replaced this one with a new boat.”
We went inside and placed our precious bottles on the table in the main room.
“Catch you guys around soon.” Kane saluted us, then strode away.
I glanced around the room, which had been stripped of everything related to Border Force.
“Are you serious about Aria giving me this boat?” I asked Tyler.
“Yes. It’s all yours if you want it.”
“If I take that job offer . . . right?”
“No, the boat is yours no matter what you decide.”
“Are you serious?” I ran my gaze over the shiny surfaces which showed no signs of wear and tear.
A horn blared outside. Tyler led the way back out the exit and held my hand as we watched Kane’s departure.
Kane blew the horn on Devil’s Fortune again, and as Tyler waved, Kane’s yacht eased away from us.
I shielded the setting sun with my hand as I watched Kane’s boat grow smaller in the distance.
Once I confirmed he really was going, I turned back to Tyler. “You know, when I first saw you today, I thought you were going to arrest me.”
“I thought about it, you crazy woman.”
“Why do you keep calling me crazy?”
“Because you are. And you drive me crazy.”
“Hmmm, is that good or bad?”
“The jury is still out on that.”
Giggling, I playfully slapped his chest. “You love it, Officer Fancy Pants.”
As I grinned up at him, a glorious warmth spread through me that had nothing to do with the setting sun beating down on us.
We took turns showering the salt water from our bodies, but without spare clothes, I had to redress into my bikini, shorts, and T-shirt. I returned to the main room, where Tyler was peering into the tub with the bottles.
“I still can’t believe we found these.” His expression was loaded with awe.
“It’s pretty special.”
“Finding treasure like you do must be amazing.”
My thoughts drifted to my time treasure hunting with Mom.
“What are you thinking?” Tyler asked.
I loved how intuitive he was. It was like we’d been together forever, and he could truly feel me.
I peered into his stunning eyes. “The day I got these scars on my leg.”
Tyler nodded and frowned. “The day your mom was murdered.”
“Yes, before she was killed, I told you we’d been scuba diving.”
