"Okay then." Anandur flashed them a bright smile. "Get comfortable, nap, or sit on the balcony, and I'll see you all later."

After Anandur left, Gabi opened the door to one of the bedrooms and walked inside. "That's the master. We are taking this one."

Dagor looked at the other door and groaned. "We are sharing a room again."

"Let's just hope that there are two beds." Negal clapped him on the back and kept walking toward the other door.

"I'm not sharing a bed with you. I'd rather take Anandur up on his offer to find me a place below decks."

As nice as the suite was, privacy was priceless.

"We have two beds," Negal said from inside the room. "Come take a look."

"I'll take your word for it." Dagor had no intention of staying in the suite until dinner. "I'm going to explore."

Frankie

After Mia and Tom left, Frankie unpacked, hung her dresses in the closet, and watched television on the living room's big screen.

Sometime during the show, an announcement came on about a welcome dinner at seven-thirty that evening, but that was more than three hours from now, and although there were snacks in the fridge and plenty of drinks to tide her over until then, she was bored and a little hungry.

If Margo were with her, they would have been having drinks on the balcony, munching on the snacks, or better yet, looking for hot dudes to flirt with at the bar.

What was stopping her from doing it on her own?

"Absolutely nothing."

Well, flirting with strangers on her own without her bestie's backup wasn't something Frankie was comfortable with. Still, she could explore and mark potentials for when Margo joined them in Cabo.

She stopped to check her makeup at the entry mirror, smoothed a few flyaway strands, and dotted her wrists with fresh drops of perfume.

After closing the door, she used the camera on her phone to take a picture of the suite number so she wouldn't forget it and trotted down the corridor toward the elevators.

No noises were coming through the doors she was passing by. It would have been completely quiet if not for the soft ambient instrumental music playing on the loudspeakers.

Was everyone taking an afternoon nap, or had no one on her deck arrived yet?

Shaking her head, she called for the elevator. When it arrived and the doors started to open, Frankie plastered a smile on her face, expecting to see people inside, but it was just as empty as the corridor.

Had she stepped intoThe Twilight Zone?

Where was everybody?

Perhaps she should call Mia and ask her to come up to the upper deck and join her for a drink. Hopefully, the bar was open for business, and Frankie wasn't the only one seeking the company of other human beings.

Nah, Mia and Tom were probably resting, and if Mia came, Tom would too, and as much as Frankie liked the guy's generosity and what he was doing for Mia, she found him too stiff and standoffish even when he was trying to be friendly.

He was also too gorgeous to be human, and it was unnerving to look at him.

Who would have thought looking at an unnaturally beautiful guy would be disturbing? But it was.

Frankie's type was the guy next door, someone with a friendly smile who was good with his hands, mowed his lawn, and could build a swing set or a new deck.

In short, she wanted a man like her father, just a little better looking. Not that her dad hadn't been handsome when he was young, but he was on the shorter side, and she had a thing for tall guys. It was nature's way to ensure balance. A tall guy would counterbalance her short genes, so their kids would be average height.

Did it work that way, though?

She remembered learning about dominant and recessive genes in high school, but that had been long ago, and she had forgotten most of what she'd been taught.
