Paradise Wild
“Michael was on a large rug in the center of the patio where she could keep an eye on him. A tiny brown puppy was sniffing around him and making the baby squeal with delight.
The pup had been an unexpected surprise. He was just a mongrel, or poi pup, as the Hawaiians called dogs of mixed breed. But he was darling, with floppy ears and a short tail that never stopped wagging. Jared had found him for Michael, or so Akela had said.
Corinne hadn’t seen Jared. He had been gone all morning, returning ...with the present. It was his way of making amends, she supposed, his way of letting her know he was sorry for not believing her story. But it was too late for that. Her heart was hard once more, tightly sealed so he couldn’t hurt her.
Voices from the kitchen drifted out the open window to the patio. Florence was there, helping Akela make taro biscuits. Florence’s curiosity about the islands was never quenched. She was constantly grilling Akela with questions. Corinne listened with only half an ear to the history lesson in progress.MoreLess
