Chapter 108: Vol. 4: Mason to Haru - Chapter 108

Haru

It was near the end of the photo shoot, late into the afternoon when I felt like I was being watched. It was probably Beth or Brenna, or even the maids, so I didn’t pay too much attention. Still grinning, posing, and holding the parasol, I shifted my gaze, and there in the distance, a familiar figure came into focus.

Tall and lean, propping himself against a cherry blossom tree, his arms folded across his chest while he watched us—or just me—was Mason.

My heart skipped a beat and then raced inside my chest. Shit! What the hell was he doing here? Wasn’t he supposed to be snorkeling with the others? I mean the session wasn’t meant to end until five. And it was only around four now.

“Sakura, time?” I asked, my voice a bit too shaky and nervous for my liking.

“Just about finished,” Sakura replied, still clicking away on her digital camera enthusiastically.

Jess supplied, “It’s four thirty.”

And click.
