“It doesn’t matter that Stephanie’s out of jail now. She’s out of my life.” Eric Collins bowed his head and hung up the phone as he walked towards his black Limo Towncar at Southwest International. The almost-marriage to Stephanie would have been the worst mistake of his life. As he held the wedding invitation to his cousin, Daniel, and Kate Sparrow’s wedding. His almost wedding disaster to Kate’s sister at least helped Daniel and Kate meet, so he had paid for something nice to happen last year.

At least the Marines gave him hope that he’d never be that stupid, ever again. These two weeks off for rest and relaxation meant he’d not have to think about anything. The active Marine duty steered him straight, but left him exhausted. As his parents were with his sister, he’d spend the time alone, and the winter house near Sanibel would be perfect to unwind his knotted muscles. Then the weekend before he had to go back, he’d fly to Cape Cod to watch a vow renewal ceremony in their family church.

The doors to the terminal swung open and he stepped into the never ending sun-blaring into the heat that made humidity of the daylight so sticky that it pressed down on his skin. He was blinded for a moment from the brightness. He had been on flights for seventeen hours. However, he stepped right on the toes of a brown eyed woman with long, dark but shiny hair. The smell of vanilla and cinnamon wafted in his nose. His stomach clenched. The thought that he knew her hit hard and fast. He stepped back, but she placed her hand on her hip and shook her head.

“Pardon me.”

The inflections in her voice sent vibrations in his soul. Her brown eyes held depths of empathy and understanding, though he didn’t know how he read all that. Instead he nodded at her, bent his head and then bit his lip.

“I’m sorry ma’am.”

“Ma’am?” She dropped her hands to her side and tilted her head. Then she let out a sigh. The sound of angels as they sing might not sound so sweet. She blinked at him. “Eric Collins, I’m offended. Don’t you know me?”

Yes he did. The pain in his chest was all because she stirred something deep inside, and it wasn’t lust. Her forehead had a major wrinkle of someone who had something on her mind. In college, she’d done that when she studied too long. His fingers hadn’t ached to touch her then. His eyes adjusted to the light and then he gazed at her brilliant smile.

“Natalie Lyons. How are you?”

She rolled her shoulders like she had a major pain. As they studied biology in college and she spent too many hours in the lab with him, she’d stretched the same. Now the familiar brought a pleasurable tingle down his spine.

She nodded at him. “I’m fine. My flight was cancelled and now I don’t know what I’m going to do for the night.”

If she was stuck, then she could stay with him. In college, they’d shared an apartment briefly. Then he lost his best friend the moment he met Stephanie. He blinked. The lightheadedness near Natalie nearly knocked his socks off. He reached for her bag to help her.

“I’m off to my parent’s timeshare in Sanibel for some R&R. Would you like to stay? I’ll get you back here tomorrow.”

“Tomorrow?” In the distance, the limos waited. With Natalie for a few days, he’d have everything in his life back. She crossed her arms. “What about the hurricane, Eric?”

His lips parted as he stared at her. “What do you mean, hurricane?”

“You don’t know.” She gazed up into the sunlight and her skin had an ethereal glow to it. He stood still as she finished, “There is a storm coming in. It’s why the airport is packed, and why I’m here. Everyone is trying to get out of town, right now.”

No. One moment in the airport wasn’t enough. He had to touch her and find out if she was real or his dream. “Where were you staying?”

She brushed her long hair behind her ears. “At my grandma’s house. She’s on a flight to my parents already. I gave up my seat. No one has another seat available for me to go anywhere. I don’t know what to do now. I don’t want to spend the storm by myself. I figured at the airport, they’d have a shelter.”

“Spent it with me.” One more moment in time with Natalie gave him the sensation that he was back where he belonged. He swallowed. “The timeshare has security and the place is well stocked. We can ride out the storm together.”

Her stare was blank. She swayed on her feet and took off her backpack like it was a heavy burden. Then she took a deep breath and said, “I haven’t seen you in years, Eric. Last time we saw each other, you walked away and we never talked again.”

“I was an idiot for not believing you. I didn’t marry her though. Instead I joined the Marines.” Natalie had warned him Stephanie was using him for his money. She didn’t look at him. He tightened his grip on his bag while he waited for her.

She slowly looked at him and her brown eyes somehow made him calm. Then she said, “I can see that. The uniform looks good on you. And I’m glad you didn’t marry her.”

“Me too.” Natalie had said she had proof, but he walked away. His spine strengthened. He’d never doubt Natalie again. Every word she had said turned out to be true. “You can trust me. I would never hurt you and I owe you. Besides, I’ll be handy to have around in case anything happens.”

She squared her jaw as she measured his words. “Is the uniform why you didn’t call me while the rest of us went to graduate school?”

Without another word, he picked up her backpack and added it to his shoulders. She dropped her hands to her sides as they walked. “I’m a Captain of the US Marines, and no. I was too embarrassed to say you were right on the phone.” The sunlight reflected in her hair. Natalie was radiant as well as smart and beautiful. She’d be what a man would come home to. “I’m serving my country.”

“Just walk me through what happened. You moved out of our apartment, and had booked a cruise to get married. Now you are saying it didn’t happen.” She took a deep breath and gazed into his blue eyes.

“The cruise to the Grand Cayman was all a ruse for Stephanie to steal her sister’s inheritance. She didn’t love me.”

His lips ached to kiss Natalie, but they walked.

“She was an idiot. Did you mean it that I can stay with you tonight?” She stood next to him.

He nodded his head. The day he moved out of his college apartment with Natalie had been the worst day of his life, and he hadn’t realized that until he sat in a desert all night. He’d never forget again. “You’d make me happy.”

She licked her lips and stared back at the busy airport. Now that he followed her gaze, the signs all did read ‘cancelled.’ She turned back towards him. “I would normally say no, but it’s just for the night. Thank you for taking me in. I was starting to get worried, but with you I’ll be safe.”

At twenty two he’d made so many mistakes. Luck had saved him from his bride. He elbowed Natalie’s arm to get her attention as she looked away. “Stephanie played me for a prized fool.”

Her nose curled. The sour taste in his mouth came when he played the ‘what if’ thoughts. She brushed her hand against his, “Eric, we can talk about that later. I’ll probably need a stiff drink to hear about your grand love with Stephanie that fell apart.”

A drink might make talking about it more palatable. He nodded. “It was stupidity, not love.” Her gaze sparked like he just told her she won the lottery. Too bad his stomach had rocks that never shifted the moments he thought about his past. He guided her to the black limo three cars down. “I’d like to never talk about Stephanie, but I’ll answer your questions later. The limo is over here.”

Natalie was his guest. No burdens should be on her shoulders. Eric reached out and took her bag that she wheeled. She instantly let go of her bag and smiled. “You have your Marine gear and all my stuff. I can carry things, Eric.”

How she said his name sent a quiver through him. At the limo, he held open the door for her. Without argument she slid inside, and he had a second to notice her round backside. Natalie had grown curves since college. He had lived with perfection, but been blind. As she sat next to him, he noticed how innocent she seemed. “What have you been doing with yourself?”

She slid her shoes off and stretched her toes. Then she leaned back in the chair and stretched like she had kinks in her entire body that needed a good massage. “I work in an ad agency.” Natalie Lyons studied medicine as her parents expected her to be a doctor. She never wanted that life, but didn’t know how to let their expectations drop from her shoulders. Again, the sense that he was home hit him hard in the chest.

“I thought you were going to write the next great American novel.”

A snort came out of her lips. “My keyboard and I didn’t agree.”

The sound of how he assembled a gun replayed in his head. Rest and relaxation would help. “It’s a computer. It does what you say.”

Weapons are machines. He points and it shoots. Computer laptops are the same.

She sat back up and shook her head. “That’s what you think.” Then she reached for her pocket book and took out her phone. “Anyhow, thanks for tonight. I’ll call my mother and tell her you’ve found me.”

He lowered his voice and whispered, “I’ll be quiet.”

Natalie’s eyes widened, and she continued to meet his stare. Her skin was red, and how wondered if she’d ever thought about a possible them years ago. With luck he had a second chance. This time he’d not be blind.

Natalie used her speed dial. “Hey, mom. I’m going to stay tonight with Eric Collins…. yes he’s in town and he’s in the Marines now… I should be safe riding through the storm… I’ll ask him if he’s going to Daniel’s wedding, but I’d guess so… I’m going to turn off my phone to save battery life in case we need it for after… Love you too.”

True to her word, she turned off the phone and placed it back in her pocketbook. “When we get to your condo, I’ll let it charge.” She adjusted her bag away from the middle. “I’m so tired, Eric. You finding me was the greatest gift of today.”

“I’m glad we’re together again, and I’m going to the Cape.”

“Me too. My mom is friends with yours.”

“I remember.”
