A knife stuck in his chest couldn’t have been more painful than her words. He didn’t want to interpret her comment as a bad judgement on her father so he pushed it aside.
“I can’t really say I’ve never lied—”
She stopped so suddenly, the distance between them was so minimal he could’ve moved the tiniest bit to touch her lips with his.
“You’re a liar?” she asked a bit louder and in the silence the words thundered through the small room.
Where the hell … “No,” he emphasised. “I’m not lying now.” He paused and added just above a whisper. “It came out the wrong way. I wanted you to know that I wouldn’t lie about something like this.”
She gave him a small nod and let out a sigh. “Okay. I’m sorry. I’m a bit on edge.”

He turned and stared at the connecting door. Should he check on Piper?
“Are you okay?”
It was a stupid statement, but he didn’t know what else to say, because, good grief, she looked sexy in that short T-shirt and the skimpy shorts.
She nodded, but her pale face told him that she’d either just come out of a deep sleep or she was scared.
Another thunder broke the silence and Piper jerked. He reached for her arm to gently pull her in.
“Would you mind staying until this is over?” she murmured into his chest.
Jon moved his hand up to her shoulder, holding her a little tighter, and placed his lips to her forehead. “Let’s get you save.” With a soft nudge he moved her back into her room. “It’ll pass. It’s all bark and no bite.”

He turned and stared at the connecting door. Should he check on Piper?
He dropped his gaze to the floor. He didn’t know her. Still, something inside urged him to make sure she was okay. The silence was only broken by the occasional rumble in the distance, which grew louder again, though.
He listened as he moved to the door. No sound from across the hall. What was he expecting though?
Bang!
“Shit,” he muttered and rushed along the small passage.
He was about to knock when the door flew open and Piper stood in front of him, protecting her eyes with her hand from his torch light.

He picked up the phone again and dialled the familiar number. His mother answered the call almost immediately.
“Hi, Mum.”
“Hello darling. How are you?”
He leaned further into the uncomfortable couch and closed his eyes, enjoying the sound of his mother’s voice. It hadn’t been easy for his parents easy to hear about his sudden bad health, but what worried them more was that he’d packed up and drove off into the unknown.
“I’ve arrived in Victoria. There’s a small place along the Great Ocean Road. Cosy and nice.”
His mother giggled. “And I suppose you’ve been surfing there, too.”
She knew him well. The house he’d grown up in was on a property next to the beach. The surf was his second home. “I haven’t, yet, but I can’t wait. It’s one of the best locations for surfing.”
Bang!
Jon jerked and his eyes flew wide open, only to stare into the darkness. There was more rumbling in the distance.
“Jonny, are you okay?”
“Mum, I call you back. I’m okay, but lightning has plunged us into darkness.” He chuckled. “It’s gonna be an interesting night.”
“You always had a knack for adventure. Stay safe, love.”
The idea that his mother thought of him as adventurous put a smile on his lips. Yes, he and his friends had always been out surfing and exploring. He couldn’t stand boring. He disconnected the call and turned on the torch, walking over to the window. The world was dark as abyss, until lightning brightened up the sky in the near distance. It was quite a spectacle, followed by more rumbling, fortunately a bit further away as well.

Jon had no idea what made him invite Piper for breakfast. First of all, it wasn’t his favourite meal at the best of times, but more importantly, bacon and eggs were on his ‘no-no’ list of foods to eat since his heart attack. How he hated the word. But truth be told, he’d needed the wake-up call and life hadn’t been all that bad since. Yes, Paula had left him, but nowadays he was more certain each day that her leaving was a good thing, too. For him definitely. The doubts whether she’d loved him more for his money and social status than himself grew with each passing day.
His mind wandered back to Piper. What was her story? Why the tears? Would he find out? In a twisted sense, he was looking forward to having breakfast with her, even if it was just for having a conversation for longer than five minutes. He’d enjoyed his solitude over the last few months with only the occasional phone calls to family and friends, but Piper had stirred something in him making him crave for some company. Her company.

“Get some rest and we’ll catch up tomorrow afternoon.”
Piper disconnected the call and looked towards the door. Why was she looking forward to the breakfast the next day? Hadn’t she learnt her lesson from her marriage with Darren, who so ungraciously left her, leaving her with nothing.
Letting out a soft sigh, she decided not to go to the breakfast. It was more important to focus on moving forward and not flirt with strange men … as nice as they might be.
The decision didn’t make her feel better, despite it being the right thing to do, and with her shoulders slouched, Piper went to the small bedroom, undressed, and returned to bed.
Jon’s image constantly on the forefront of her mind.

Had she imagined the amusement in his voice?
“I…I meant … as in … it’s no hassle, as in I’m grateful you let me stay here. I can’t expect you to keep the other side empty because of …” She had no idea whether she was making it worse with stuttering some nonsense. What would he think of her? That she was already hooking up with another man? “Anyway,” she added in barely more than a whisper. “Thanks for checking in on me. I really appreciate it.”
“Hey Piper? You’ll get through this. I’m sure of it. There are better times ahead.”
She closed her eyes, holding back the tears. Yes, she deserved some better times. And not just better times, but good times. The image of her neighbour popped into her mind and a smile tugged at her lips.
“I live in hope,” she replied, as she thought of her breakfast invitation in the morning.
“Get some rest and we’ll catch up tomorrow afternoon.”

On the other hand, a little flirt wouldn’t hurt and hopefully distract her from her misery, even if just for a little while.
The buzzing of her phone pulled her out of her reverie. She checked the ID and with a hesitant smile answered the call.
“Harrison. How are you?”
“I’m sorry for calling so late. It’s been … never mind. Just wanted to see that you’re all right.” He paused for a moment and asked quietly, “Are you?”
A mix of emotions overwhelmed her. The anger and sadness of having lost everything sat deep within her. Excitement and apprehension about breakfast with Jon trickled through her. And now a whisper of warmth cascaded through her hearing Harrison’s concerned voice. She might have lost everything, but she still had people caring for her.
“I’m fine,” she replied. “Thank you for letting me stay at your cabin. I really appreciate it.”
“I heard the other side has been occupied by a tourist. I’m sorry about it.”
“No,” she responded louder than intended. “No, don’t’ apologise. That’s fine. He’s quiet and courteous. No stress at all.”
Shit, had she just said he?
“Okay. Clearly it’s no hassle.”
Had she imagined the amusement in his voice?

Last line from the previous snippet: “That’d be lovely.” She heard her own words. “I look forward to it.” “Me too,” he replied just above a whisper with a smile lingering on his lips. And she thought the messages had kept her awake… that smile did all sorts of things to her. She let out a huff as she ambled back to her cabin. How the hell could she even think of another man as being attractive after what Cameron had put her through. She lost everything. Her money. Her house. Her life. Thanks to him, she had to live in a small cabin. Not only that, it was a shared accommodation on top of that. Although, she wouldn’t complain about her neighbour. Actually, yes she would, because she didn’t want to think of a male person to be attractive, handsome, or even sexy. Good Lord her neighbour was sexy. And she was going to have breakfast with him. Piper shoved the door open with more force than intended and slammed it shut behind herself with equal strength. Clearly, she hadn’t learnt her lesson. No breakfast with Jon.

“I’m not sure what I expected,” he finally admitted.
Piper moved a strand of hair from her face. “Sorry, I know it’s late. I couldn’t sleep. And … you know … the messages …”
He choked back a soft chuckle. “They were meant to amuse you a little, not to give you sleepless nights.”
“They did. As in, they did amuse me.” She lifted her shoulder in a subtle shrug. “Now I’m here to say thanks. I can’t remember anybody ever care in that way.”
Jon scratched the back of his neck. “Look, I’d like to offer you to—”
“No,” she countered and added with a smile. “No, I really just wanted to say thanks—”
“How about breakfast tomorrow morning. In the camp kitchen. My treat. Bacon and eggs.”
Heat trickled through her as she contemplated his offer. After all, she didn’t know him, only that he’d cared enough to take his time to put a smile on her face with his small notes. She met his gaze as he waited for an answer. Was he not used to wait? He looked sexy enough to have any woman.
“That’d be lovely.” She heard her own words. “I look forward to it.”
