Murder At Tropical Cove Marina (Cozy Mystery) (Sea Cozy Mysteries Book 1)

by Crystal Winters

  “Bye,” I waved to her as I headed back to the marina with a tear in my eye. I said to myself, “I am glad everything turned out ok for her and that they found the real killer.”

  I bumped into Ethan on the way back to the marina; he came to see Dusty and filled him in with the details since I had literally been tied up. Well, locked up, anyway.

  “Hey Dad, Do you think I could have a moment or three with Ethan?”

  “Sure honey.” My father walked away leaving us alone together.

  “Hey Ethan, Do you remember when we were at Ms. Johnson’s trailer and she was reading us our fortunes? Well, I thought it was a bunch of bunk.”

  “Yes, Maddie.” Ethan said as he raised his hand to wave at someone behind me. What about it?”

  “Remember, Ms. Johnson said that she could sense trouble for me and that I would be in danger. And that someone would rescue me. It’s true, Ethan. I was in danger at Guz’s and you were the one to rescue me.”

  “So true, so true, Maddie.”

  “Well, I think it has some meaning to it.”

  “You do?”

  “So that means that you will rekindle a relationship from the past and Ethan, that is…” I hesitated.

  “You know, I can’t agree with you more.” Ethan gazed at someone behind me. A wide smile spread across his tanned face, and he said, “Hi there, Jessica.”
