'I'm glad. Mr. Donatelli sounds like a nice man from what you've told me.'
'You'll get a chance to see for yourself. He's throwing a big family clambake at his Nantucket house. You're invited. Paul and Gamay will be there too.'
'I'd love to come along.'
'Good then, it's a date. Now would you like to hear the rest of my kite theory?'
Nina nodded.
'I think the Maya learned from the best kite fliers in the world. The Japanese.'
She laughed. 'I don't think I'll go there.'
'Where would you like to go, then?'
Nina picked up the cell phone. 'Someplace where you won't need this.' She dropped the phone over the aide.
Then, removing her sunglasses, she smiled and her lush lips parted invitingly. Austin accepted the invitation, which was as warm and sweet as promised.
'How would you like to go below and, what did you call it? Stretch?' Nina whispered.
Without a word, Austin took her hand, led her to the spacious cabin, and shut the louvered doors on the world.. At least for a little while.
