She smoothed her dress as I took the seat next to her. “Did you hear from the cabin owner yet?”

I nodded. “I left a message on your voicemail earlier.”

“Shoot.” She opened her purse and pulled out her phone. “I didn’t get it. Or at least I don’t think I did. My cell service is terrible in the cabin.”

I’d wondered why she hadn’t responded. “Mine isn’t great either. I had to drive up to the highway and park at a trucker rest stop to call my office this afternoon because service kept going in and out.”

“What did the cabin owner have to say?”

“Apparently the app she uses to rent the place did a software upgrade the day you made your reservation, and a glitch allowed you to book it even though it was already reserved. She had no idea.”

“But I paid a deposit?”

“She initiated a refund already. And she was apologetic, not that it helps our situation. Unfortunately, she only owns the one cabin.”

Naomi sighed. “Alright, well… I’ll find somewhere else to stay. I thought about it, and you were right. You made the reservation first, so you should be the one to get the cabin.”

“It’s not a big deal. I asked my assistant to find me a place. She should be calling me back soon.”

“Are you sure?”

“You’re already settled in. And Leonardo has already christened the place.”

“That reminds me. Did you happen to leave a bag of shredded coconut behind?”

“I thought I’d left it at home. I guess you found it?”

“Leonardo did. He tore it open and ate some, so I had to throw it out.”

“Damn.”

“What were you going to do with it?”

“Eat it.”

“It was a giant bag. It looked like it came from Costco.”

“I really like coconut.”

“Sorry.”

“It’s fine. Lily promised me coconut cake at the rehearsal dinner.”

“Oh, and I think I found something else of yours.” She smirked and dug into her purse again, this time coming up with a strip of condoms. “Leonardo came trotting out with these after you left. I’m guessing they’re yours. You were hoping to do some christening of your own at the cabin?”

“How do you know someone else didn’t leave those behind?”

Her cheeks pinked. “They looked like your size.”

That comment and the bigXLsplashed across the front of the packets had me beaming. And here I thought I’d given a poor showing.

Naomi rolled her eyes. “Alright, alright, don’t let it go to your head. Big dick or not, you still seem like a jerk.”

“What did I do?”

“Well, for one, you’re a defense attorney. That in itself is the biggest clue. But you also insulted Leonardo.”

“And drove you to the hospital…”
