Joey sent the beach ball flying across the sand. Blu chased after it. It enlivened her to run, as she’d spent her entire high school years on the track team. She fetched the beach ball and turned back to the kids.
As she walked back across the sand, the sunset drew her attention. It was a beautiful evening for a walk on the beach.
Marley tugged at her hand. “I’m starving, Blu. Please, I’m so hungry!”
“We’re going to go have dinner now. As soon as I find your brother’s shoe.” She shook out the beach blanket. In the sand she caught sight of the blue tip of a flip-flop. She reached down to dig it out of the sand. As she did, she heard a familiar voice.
She glanced up in time to see a woman beside the lifeguard tower. Her expensive dress had no place on the beach and she looked totally out of place. Though she wore a wide-brimmed black hat, Blu knew exactly who she was.
Penelope Ross—one of the wealthiest and high-powered female CEOs in America. But in that moment she seemed as enamored with Sam as Maddie was.
“Don’t look, Blu, it’s not your business.” She tried to focus on folding up the blanket. The kids kicked small fountains of sand up into the air as they waited for her.
Blu’s attention was split between them and Penelope. At first she assumed the banter between the man and woman was flirting, but as she gathered the last of the sand toys she heard their voices rise.
“Let’s go, kids.” She herded Marley and Joey toward the car. As she walked, she could hear them arguing, but she couldn’t hear what they were saying. She settled the kids in the backseat and stood up to look back at the beach.
Penelope stalked away from the lifeguard tower. Sam ran toward the water.
Whatever they’d been arguing about was over now.
