private grief. She knew what a gaping chasm losing Connor had left in Luke’s heart. Though he had done his best to shield Sadi from his pain, she knew it was there.
           Even in his happiest moments during their honeymoon, in an unguarded moment, Sadi could see a shadow pass across his eyes but then it was gone and he returned to her once more. Maybe the extra time away would be good for Luke. Sadi worried about the business, the added stresses and pressure Luke was under, but he seemed to be coping well. Though the company was struggling through what had happened, Luke had been more relaxed about work than ever before.
                  “Let’s go to the Bahamas then,” Sadi, said, leaning in and kissing Luke.
                  He moaned, deep in his throat. Both of his hands came to rest on the side of Sadi’s face. He kissed her, a kiss full of the promise of all that they had yet to experience.
                    Sadi rifled through her suitcase and let out an exasperated sigh. She didn’t know how she could have been so silly. She had brought just enough birth control to last for their honeymoon in Europe. Now that they had extended their stay in the Bahamas for another three weeks, she was completely out of medication.
                  She sighed again. She was glad Luke had gone ahead of her to the beach. She had realized she was out of her pills that morning and had momentarily panicked. She had made up some excuse about wanting to shower before joining Luke on the beach. It made no sense if they were planning to swim, but he hadn’t seemed to mind. She had taken the extra time to search through her suitcase. She honestly couldn’t remember putting extra pills in but maybe on the off chance….
                  A thorough investigation had turned up nothing. Sadi sat on the edge of the bed, wondering if she should tell Luke. They could always try and find a doctor here, or they could abstain. She smiled at that thought.
           Luke desired her like every day was going to be their last. There was no way he was going to keep his hands off her, especially for another two and a half weeks until they returned home.
            Sadi frowned. She didn’t want to waste time having to go to a doctor or a hospital here. The idea frightened her a little. She didn’t like going to her own doctor, let alone in some country she wasn’t even from. She could just imagine the hassle. They likely wouldn’t just give her a prescription without an exam would they? And there was no way that was going to happen.
                    Sadi didn’t want to waste a full day dealing with trying to get her stupid pills on the off chance the pharmacy here carried the same brand. She figured it would be a day or two of wasted time. She didn’t want to put Luke through the hassle. It would probably be alright. She had read somewhere that the pills took weeks, if not months, to wear off and she had been taking them for over two years.
                    Sadi showered for appearances, put on her bikini, tied a bright blue sarong around her waist and donned her flip flops. The weather was gorgeous, the white sand beaches and lush sparkling water better than she ever could have dreamed possible.
           She made her way around the resort, under huge waving palms and past pools and poolside bars. There was upbeat music and activities going on all around her. She should have found it overwhelming after the peace of Scotland, but she didn’t. She found she really liked it.
                  Luke smiled when Sadi approached. He was sitting in a white plastic lawn chair, burying his feet in the hot white sand and uncovering them, letting the fine grains trail through his toes.
                  “Would you like to put lotion on my back for me?” Sadi asked, producing the tube of sunscreen.
    Luke shot her a catlike grin.
