He didn’t even know her name. Oh, it would be easy enough to find out. One call to Dominic and he would have all her contact information. He had been tempted to do just that many times over the past two weeks.
But, he hadn’t. She had snuck out for a reason. He wasn’t sure he wanted to know what that reason was. Had she simply scratched her itch and moved on? Did she have a wealthy, powerful husband to return home to?
Spencer sighed heavily. Maybe he was getting sentimental in his old age. Maybe he was experiencing the first wave of a midlife crisis. The big 4-0waslooming just around the corner.
He tapped a few keys and brought up Sate’s website. If he couldn’t be there physically, he could at least take some pleasure in looking at his baby.
Swells of pride rose in his chest when he saw the gleaming resort rising from the volcanic rock that had formed the island millions of years earlier, surrounded by pristine white sand and crystal-clear azure seas.
Even better, the site was showing a 4.95 out of a possible 5 approval rating.
He opened the reviews, craving some good news.
The most recent was a glowing five-star, extolling the virtues of the excellent staff, fine cuisine, exemplary setting, and exceptional amenities. Spencer was smiling by the time he reached the end; the PR firm he had paid top dollar hadn’t written a plug half as good.
He paged down, finding the name of the reviewer listed as Kayla O’Connell, a senior agent for the You Deserve It Travel Agency. Spencer chuckled at the name, then clicked on the link with the intent of sending them a personal thank you.
He was surprised when the agency’s website popped up and revealed that it was located in Brandyville, Pennsylvania, less than twenty miles away from Pine Ridge.
He was even more surprised when he clicked on theOur Agentsmenu item and got his first look at the woman who had written such a stellar review.
Kayla O’Connell.Vexy.
And she was less than twenty miles away.
Chapter Twenty-Two
The headache that hadstarted shortly after Lexi showed up at the agency grew steadily worse throughout the afternoon, making her even crankier. The curious looks and hushed whispers that had begun around the same time didn’t help. Finally, Kayla had had enough.
She waited until the last client left then turned around and faced Sue Ann, Carly, Frankie, and Stephanie. “Annette!” she called out. “Would you come out here, please? I only want to do this once.”
When everyone was gathered and looking at her expectantly, she said, “All right. Go on. Ask me.”
They exchanged glances. It was Carly who spoke first.
“You know Lexi Callaghan?”
