‘Really? Cosmically?’

‘Maybe it’s the only thing that explains the effect we have on each other.’

‘I doubt that. It’s time to leave, Cam. I’ll wait outside.’ I started walking away, but then stopped. ‘And by the way, we’re doing it my way tonight.’

‘And what way is that?’

‘Less chatting and more breaking and entering.’ I stepped out into the hot night.

In many ways she was so predictable. She was no doubt going to pretend that all of this meant nothing. But I knew better. It meant everything, whether she was ready to admit it or not.

Maybe we weren’t ready for it six years ago; maybe that was why I hadn’t chased after her and said what I needed to say. But now that I had her in my sights, I wasn’t letting go. This time I was going to say what needed to be said.

I smiled. She could deny it all she wanted, but I would make sure she realised how sonotpretend any of this was.

There were storm clouds gathering above us as we walked down the dock towards the yacht. Not yacht – superyacht. And it was glowing like a floating mansion.

‘It takes me wherever it takes me,’ I replied.

‘Hard to hold down a relationship, I imagine?’

I turned and looked at him. ‘I’m sure I could say the same about you.’

‘My last two relationships failed because of it. I travelled too much. Long hours, unpredictable, no weekends . . . you know how it goes.’

‘Not really,’ I said, and started walking again.

‘Surely it’s happened in your relationships too.’
