computer engineer froze when he saw the frigid blue, almost white colored irises. But they softened slightly like she was intrigued by his boyish behavior.
    She blinked it away, though, her eyes becoming stern again.
    They held a cunningness that could only mean trouble.

    Typhoon Lagoon
    Orlando, Florida
     
    “Hank and Nicole have no idea what they’re missing,” Kane said, smiling wide as he looked at the bevy of waterslides.
    “And we have no idea what we’re missing!” replied the very annoyed Frenchwoman by his side, her accent growing in strength with her annoyance. Olivia Dubois wanted nothing better than to be tanning next to Nicole on the beach, but instead, Kane coerced her into going to Disney World—more specifically Typhoon Lagoon waterpark.
    “Come on Belle , it’s where dreams come true,” he’d said, using the pet name he came up with. It was the only time Olivia regretted her heritage.
    She sneered at him. “So you’re telling me you’d rather play here than watch me tan on a beautiful beach in just the tiniest of bathing suits while sipping on beers with Hank and occasionally sneaking peeks at Nicole?”
    Damn, he thought, didn’t think of that.
    Kane’s face fell flat and his cheeks reddened as he pictured the scene before him, but shook it away when he noticed Olivia staring at him, a smile forming. She loved to mention the fact that he had a small crush on Nicole when he’d first met her. But when he and Olivia had officially become an item, she even admitted to having a girl crush on the Swede.
    “Who doesn’t think she’s magnifique ?” Olivia said when he told her, making an overly generous hourglass shape with her hands. She even went as far as flicking her eyebrows up a couple times, teasing him further.
    He shrugged off her proposal. “As long as you come down the slides with me, I’m okay with missing the ‘T and A’ show.”
    Kane grinned as she turned away. “That is…” she stopped almost losing a flip-flop, facing back towards her boyfriend. She threw her hands up, waiting for him to finish, “…I’ll be content with missing the show…until we get back to the hotel room.”
    “You know something, Jeremy,” she said, hands on hips, thrusting them to the right, “you really know how to sweep a woman off her feet.”
    She smiled again and started left around the immense wave pool. It was one of the largest in the world, reaching over ten feet in depth in some places. Olivia had no interest in it since she was only five-two. Kane, however, would easily clear the six-foot waves with his six-foot-six frame. Yes, over a foot separated them from each other.
    They continued hand-in-hand, heading for the first slide they could find. It was a decent walk too. Typhoon Lagoon was a really big place and impressed the hell out of Kane. Then, he saw a bar and screeched to a halt, ordering him and Olivia a couple of frozen daiquiris.
    “Cheers, sweet cheeks,” Kane said, clinking his plastic cup against Olivia’s.
    “ Santé , you big lug.”
    Kane’s eyebrows creased. “Where’d you hear that?”
    Olivia shrugged. “Hank’s been helping me with some Kane-centered American insults. He thought they’d help when you annoyed me.” She then laughed at his hanging open mouth, patting his cheek as she walked by. “Come, let’s see this Humunga Kowabunga .”
    Kane smiled and followed along, thoroughly enjoying his drink. “Humunga Kowabunga…sort of sounds like when we—”
    She whirled on him. “If you’re going to turn the name of a family waterslide into a sex joke, please don’t. I can only take so many in one day’s time.”
    Kane looked down at his watch. “But it’s only noon.”
    “Exactly!” she hissed, slapping his shoulder, making him spill a little of his drink.
    “Ugh, party foul.” He licked it from his fingers. “You should know better Belle. We Americans take our alcohol very seriously.”
    She smiled again. “Especially at these
