The stewardess tapped her on the shoulder. "We're going to be landing in about an hour."

Lenni nodded.

"Thank you," Beckett said.

"Is there anything else you'll need for me?" she looked at them both expectantly.

Lenni shook her head. There wasn't a single thing she needed. It was a short flight, but it was exciting to be flying so much in the last few days. This time they were even taking a private jet. There were no flights from the island to the airport near the Collins' estate.

"Nothing for me either, thank you," Beckett told her. "We won't need anything else for the rest of the flight."

She nodded and left them alone. Lenni leaned back and sighed. She could get used to traveling like this.

"Alone at last," Beckett said arching his eyebrow.

She giggled. "Did you have something in mind?"

He checked his watch. "There's not enough time for that. Why don't you give me a rundown of everything you packed. Take my mind off all the things I would love to be doing instead."

Lenni looked for her phone. "I don't know everything off the top of my head, but I have a list."

And she hadn't been expecting to do this until after they had landed at least. She had other things in mind. They were on a private plane for goodness' sake. Beckett really did take things so slowly. She hadn't been expecting it, but it was nice. She guessed getting to know each other slowly was better than having a fast and passionate affair that burned out quickly.

She knew it was going to be awkward going back to employer-employee relationship after the vacation. Still, this was tough. In her mind, she thought it would be all sexual tension and longing glances. This was so mundane. It was like a switch had been flipped and now they were just back to how they were. There was still a spark between them, but he was having an easy time keeping it under wraps on his end.

"Oh, here's pictures of everything." She handed him her phone and watched as he swiped through the album. "What do you think?"

"It looks good. Potter is already there and you're going to go ahead to meet her. Before you go to your room I would like you to head to Jasper's and make sure all of my stuff is where it needs to be."

She was going to have to work harder to match his cool exterior. His icy professionalism was throwing her off.  "Yes, she let me know what was going to happen when she called me. She wanted to make sure I had a dress for the wedding."

"You don't have to wear anything special if you don't have it. I'm not sure if I'll need you at the wedding. The people who are looking after Jasper's brothers will be keeping an eye on me and my things too." He didn't even look at her as he said it.

Lenni swallowed around the lump in her throat. "Potter invited me to come as her guest. That way I wouldn't have to sit around while everyone had a fun time."

"Oh, how nice of her." He took the paper from next to his chair and looked for the last page he had read.

Lenni looked out the window and held back tears. She was being silly. Obviously, he wanted to get back into the professional relationship quickly. He didn't have to be any more clear with her. It was fine. It didn't lessen the connection they had, and it wasn't like they had even talked about going to the wedding as boyfriend and girlfriend or something. She was making too big a deal out of this. She had a job to do and she was going to do it well. They would have all the time in the world to figure out where their relationship was going after this wedding.

Once they landed, it was easy to spot Potter next to a sleek town car.

"There she is." Lenni got up once the stewardess said it was okay. She put her hand out to Beckett. "Thank you again for taking me with you. I had a lovely time."

He eyed her hand but shook it anyway. "No problem. I had a great time too."

She had only one small bag, so it was easy to get herself off the plane.

"How's the trip?" Potter asked as Lenni swung her suitcase into the trunk. She had expected the driver to do it, but she guessed that was only something they did for the rich guests, not the help.

"Wonderful." She couldn't mention anything about what had transpired between her and Beckett. That was for the two of them. There was still lots of exciting things for her to tell Potter about. "I got to see turtles and a turtle shifter. And we went ziplining one of the days. Mostly, we just sat around the beach and relaxed. It was great. How about you?"

"Well, I got to ski at one of the premier resorts in the entire world. I didn't spend much time relaxing next to a fire, but I had a great trip. It was nice going away with Beckett. He didn't work you too hard I hope. I know how demanding he can be even on vacation."

Lenni snorted. "I didn't work at all."

Potter's eyebrows rose. "I have never been able to take a trip with him where he didn't make me work. Patrick either. You must have cast some spell on him to get a break the whole time."

"Just lucky I guess."

Lenni looked out the window while Potter described her trip for the rest of the drive. It was shorter than she had imagined. The Collinses basically had an airport in their backyard. She thought Beckett's house was big, but it was nothing compared to this. When people talked about estates, this was what they meant. There was enough room for her entire block to fit on their grounds.

They drove around to one of the guest homes where Jasper and his bride-to-be were living.

"I'll just take a quick trip in to make sure his things are here," Lenni told Potter.

"Sure thing, dear. Want me to come with you?"

"No, I'm fine."

She wasn't, but she didn't want to make this little detour longer than it needed to be. She wanted to get everything checked out and then get to her room. She needed time alone. Maybe once she was by herself, she would be able to get back in the groove. This beach vacation had thrown her off her game.
