Tom shook his head and laid down the cup he was drinking from on the work table. “No, not all the way back to the marina. Actually, Golden Cove is just a couple of hours from here, given the speed of this boat. Opposite direction from the marina. Why don’t we take up Juliana’s offer a couple of nights ago? Let’s ride the storm out over there. We won’t be able to do anything anyway until the storm passes, anyway. And it’ll give us time to make the discrete calls you want to make. The ones to boat owners or captains with cinches powerful enough to haul those containers on board, once we’re able to float those containers to the surface? I’ll also need to find out who can supply us with the balloons or floaters that’ll be big enough to raise those containers to the surface.”
Bette was listening closely to her friend as he laid his thoughts out. Made sense. But…
“You think Juliana will be okay with us showing up all of a sudden in that resort? Will she be there, in the first place?” she asked.
He smiled as he spun around and headed to the radio desk next to the captain’s wheel. Bette could hear him successfully reach someone using the yacht’s radio. She shook her head, and walked up next to him, carrying their cups, on her way to the kitchen. Tom was incorrigible.
“I’ll take a shower and get stuff ready,” she mouthed to him. He gave her a “thumbs-up” sign.
A little over two hours later they were cutting the engines of the yacht and Tom was carefully maneuvering them into a slip in the back of the resort. The harbor in Golden Cove was built in the rocky area on the back of the island, occupying the space huge boulders used to occupy. The harbor was large enough to accommodate the resort’s two speedboats, and had several other slips for guests who’d brought their own boats with them. It was protected from the winds that accompanied the occasional storm or rains that passed through, given its positioning.
Juliana was arriving a little over an hour later, but had called ahead to ask the staff in the resort to prepare two of the guest rooms in the cottage for Bette and Tom.

‘It could turn out to be a fatal mistake’ is the intriguing tempting sentence and then 21 pages later we’re still wondering!
Great Story over it’s many twists and turns and another great chapter. Thank you looking forward to 33.
Indeed still wondering about that sentence.
It is a very good and intriguing story, so many happens and it keeps you captivated to the end.
I like all appreciate the beauty of Brete, I like Tom drooling over Bette, Tina presume I like his love Bette, please keep writing and indulging with your stories, thank you very much!
I bet those fishing shops have nice little pointy knives…the kind you can strap to….well – where ever you can hide one ! The girls have to win ! Mr Green with the lead pipe in the library ! Get that snake off her path !
Love your story and look forward to every twist! I don’t even try to guess where you’re going, but just hang on for the bumpy ride. I’m probably in the minority, but I can’t stomach Tom! He is so inappropriate and disrespectful. A peeping Tom that doesn’t bother to hide in the bushes. At least Ashley called him out on his behavior. Cannot imagine Tina allowing him to be their donor and Bette allowing him to continually ogle her. Don’t imagine Bette would tolerate Miller acting that way towards Tina. Can’t wait for the next chapter.
Hi, am glad you are enjoying the story, and thanks for telling me what you think. Several thoughts in response: 1) the Bette in this storyline is an inveterate flirt, something that Tina has had problems with from the start ( see early chapters in “Let It Happen” and a few chapters in “Love Soul Heaven Hell), yet she believes she’s in control of it… we’ll see; 2) all the same, she is insanely devoted to Tina; 3) and Tina feels the same. But still, there was a point when they were questioning their expectations about the other (in their own ways; in “Let It Happen”). I have to say I once wrote out a couple of chapters that threw into that (crazy) mix an issue, sexual fluidity, that seems highly relevant to people. Or maybe fluidity expressed in various ways — one chapter that was going into “Let It Happen” after they broke up, and another for “Love Soul Heaven Hell” after the chapter on cheating), that explored those issues in an interlocking way. The chapters were interesting, and took the storyline in unexpected directions, but they each didn’t fit into the flow of the books, so I ended up shelving them. I may pick up on them again, because I think the topic is… well, topical!
In the meantime, I hope Tom doesn’t turn you completely off the rest of the story. (Maybe you can give him a break … don’t we all have those male friends who we know we won’t end up dating but like playing with, anyway?) :-) hope you enjoy the rest of the ride.
ok, from the fishing shop Miller gets a box cutter to be detected by Green’s detector which gives him a feeling of being clever. She also gets 2 or 3 large plastic cable ties, makes great restraints, some plastic fishing line that can be wrapped around the neck, easy and a lot of praying! Excellent chapter. Keep going!!!! PLEASE.
I do not like all this charm
Tom play Bette, ok! He and his friend

Changing the subject I like the pace
