Bringing Mia to Halewick would only make everything worse, and some part of him understood that clearly.

"If you're coming, don't get involved," he said.
"I won't," Mia promised.

Resort staff were moving between the dock and the main path with trays of drinks and baskets of flowers, and music drifted from somewhere near the beach. Ethan had expected tension, maybe tears, at least some sign that Claire's world had been unsettled in his absence.
