Charlie smiled, wondering if he was only on his best behaviour in front of her.
‘Your wife has a beautiful smile and beautiful green eyes. You’re a lucky man, Señor Castillo,’ Captain Jack commented as he topped up everyone’s wine glasses with ice-cold white wine.
Felipe smiled. ‘I agree entirely, but she’s not my wife.’
Captain Jack froze. ‘Well, I would change that pretty soon, my friend!’ he exclaimed. ‘You two are meant to be together, that is obvious. I can see that. Anyone can see that. And I am never wrong about these things. I can show you many, many photographs I have been sent over the years by couples who got married after I had predicted it.’
‘Actually we only met two days ago,’ Charlie put in, feeling slightly embarrassed by the way the conversation was going.
But Captain Jack was an unstoppable force. ‘Pah! What is time when true love is at stake? I knew from the first moment I set eyes on my wife that she was the one for me. We got married within two months and we’ve been together for thirty-five years.’
Luis, realising that this might be awkward for Charlie and Felipe, took over. ‘That is wonderful. I hope I can be as fortunate with my own wife Mariana.’ And he insisted on Captain Jack showing him photographs of his wife and children.
‘And you think I’m a matchmaker,’ Zoe whispered when Captain Jack was in full flow about his youngest son going to university. ‘Captain Jack ought to get his own website!’
But even as Charlie smiled at her friend’s comment, she wondered if Captain Jack was on to something. It seemed crazy, but the fact was she had never felt like this about anyone before.
They arrived back at the resort beach just as the sun was setting with another brilliant display of colour, turning the sky to flame and the sea to golden silk. The perfect ending to a perfect day. As Captain Jack helped Charlie out of the boat, he said, ‘You know, you should definitely come back here for your honeymoon. Send me a message when you do, I’m on Facebook, and you can come over for dinner and meet my wife. She runs a beach-front café along the coast and makes the tastiest fish curry on the island.’
Clearly he wasn’t a man to give up on an idea.
Chapter 5
FIVE DAYS AND nights of total loved-up bliss followed. It couldn’t have been a better start to a relationship. There were hours of lazing on the beach, swimming, talking and sunbathing, then they would escape to Felipe’s penthouse suite to make love in the afternoon. They were passionate, sensual lovers, who felt they had found the key to their own secret paradise. Usually it took Charlie some time to feel relaxed with a lover … but with Felipe she felt a great sense of release, free from any inhibitions. They were a perfect match in every way.
They were in that ‘can’t keep their hands off each other’ phase, when every moment in each other’s company was precious and charged with significance, when every second apart made them long for each other. Fortunately their two friends understood, and while the lovers were locked away in their suite, Zoe and Luis would be off playing golf, for which they had discovered a mutual passion, having spa treatments or playing cards. Every evening the four of them would meet up for dinner. The more Charlie got to know Luis, the more she adored him. He was so charming and easygoing. He made a good foil to Felipe who was far more fiery. She still teased him about being arrogant. They went on another boat trip with Captain Jack, where he repeated his prediction that Charlie and Felipe were destined for each other.
Charlie had never experienced such an intense connection with someone before. She felt happier than she had ever been since the accident, almost back to the confident, optimistic girl she had once been. But in spite of this there were still some things she held back. She didn’t tell Felipe about her brother being in prison and nor did she
