An Endless Summer(123)

“Did you?” I tried to keep my voice even as I casually turned away from him. I caught Sean peeking at me, one eye open.

“Mmm. Apparently I have a secret admirer.”

“Is that right?” I said, looking out onto the lake with the deepest fascination.

“It appears someone has paid out my entire account.”

“Ha! Imagine that?” I still refused to look down at Sean.

“Yep! All two thousand, eight hundred and eighty dollars of it.”

My head spun around so fast I nearly did myself an injury.

“What?” I managed to croak out. My heart leaped into my throat as I tried desperately to remember the day I had made a cheque out to Roy at the market-come-hardware store. Had I gotten it wrong? Had Roy gotten it wrong? Nearly three thousand dollars? Oh my God, I wanted to peel away and check my balance.

My panicked thoughts were interrupted by a chuckle. “Seems like you are your father’s daughter, after all.” Sean leaned up on his elbows.

I blinked, staring down at him, confused.

He smirked. “I saw the signatures, Amy. It seems you and your dad took it upon yourselves to undo my charity work.”

Dad? Dad had paid off some of Sean’s account, too?

Sean sat up, looking directly into my eyes. “You didn’t know about your dad?”

I shook my head, totally dumbfounded, before my eyes snapped up to meet his face. “Go on, say it.”

The corners of Sean’s mouth tugged upward in amusement. “Bloody pig-headed, stubborn Hendersons.” He leaned in, slowly claiming my mouth in an achingly tender caress, before he slowly pulled back.

“And I’m mighty glad to know them.”
