and drawing her into a kiss. She felt like her whole body was on fire as he pushed his strong, vulnerable, and intense lips up against hers again and again. His soft fingers grazed her supple skin and she felt a shiver run down her spine.  
    “When do you wanna go?” he finally said as he pulled up for air.  
    “Right away,” she said. “Tonight.”
    “Where are we going first, Miss World Traveler?”
    “Still home to the Bahamas,” she said. “I want to see my family. I need a bit of grounding before I go anywhere, my boy.”
    He grinned from ear to ear and she knew it was because she called him my boy . It was her Caribbean way of friendly affection but when she was miserable it all but disappeared. She was even glad to hear herself say it.
    “Sounds great to me,” he said. “I’d love to see where you grew up.” He turned and looked at Kalani. “But, first, there’s just one thing I want to do before we leave.”

Chapter 5
    Before long they were descending back down the dirt roads with Kalani in the back.  
    “This little Jeep has good ground clearance,” Theo said to Kalani.
    “Sure,” Kalani said, his voice straining toward enthusiasm with much difficulty.
    Theo tapped on the steering wheel and kept glancing at Kalani through the wing mirror. “I think the Jeep Wrangler’s a lot better, though.”
    “It is,” Kalani said. “I’m just thinking about my Jeep. I don’t know what the heck’s going on with it. Or how much it’s gonna cost.”
    “Why don’t you let us pay for the repairs?” Theo offered.  
    “I couldn’t ask you to do that.”
    “You didn’t ask,” Theo said. “C’mon. As a thank you for driving our butts around everywhere to show us all this land we don’t want.”
    “Well…”
    “Please,” Angelique said.
    “Well, you could pay for my mechanic to come and take a look? That’s all I could ask for.”
    “Done,” Theo said.
    The arrangements were made over the phone and by the time they got back to Kalani’s canary yellow, clapboard house, a young man with cornrows was leaning against the wall waiting for him.
    “Hey, Moses,” Kalani called out, getting out of the car.
    Theo looked in his wallet and Angelique saw a wad of cash inside. “Hey, Kalani, we’ll go find an ATM just now, right?”
    “Sure,” Kalani said. “Thanks so much. Thank you, guys, really.”
    “It’s nothing,” Theo said.
    Theo spun the car around and headed back out of the dirt road onto a main street.
    “I don’t get it,” Angelique said. “You already have cash there. Why do we need to go to an ATM?”
    A wicked grin spread over Theo’s face. “Because it’s not cash we need.”
    He pulled up on a side road and punched something into his phone. It began to talk in a computerized voice, giving him directions.
    “Where are we going?” Angelique asked.
    “Wait and see.”
    After a ten-minute drive, during which Angelique didn’t know whether to be excited or scared, they pulled up outside a Jeep dealership.
    “What are we doing here?” Angelique asked.  
    Theo leaned in to whisper in her ear. “We’re gonna buy him a new one.”
    Angelique’s mouth dropped open. “What? Get outta here!”
    “Why not? I lived his life, Angelique. He works so hard but struggles nonetheless. What can it hurt to give him a little joy? A little help?” Theo said, getting out of the car, still beaming. He came around to open her door.
    “Wow, that’s awesome,” she said, stepping out.
    “Want a car?” he asked gesturing at the shining cars displayed behind the vast glass wall.  
    She giggled. She could barely believe what she was hearing.
    They stepped into the showroom and cast their eyes over the array of cars. “That one,” they both said, pointing at a green open-top jeep, then laughing.
    Theo strode up to the saleswoman at the counter. “Good morning,” he said. “I’d like to purchase this Jeep to take away right now.”
    “The Jeep Wrangler?” She looked
