Sam clutched her flashlight and followed Brody down a dim, gravel and sand path. “I didn’t say.” Sam would normally say that she liked surprises, but Brody seemed full of them. She never knew what they were doing. But considering his last surprise included a luxury jet and a private island, she needed to just go with it. They’d spent two days on the island being decadently lazy. After dinner, he’d eyed the darkening sky and told her to put on her swimsuit. She couldn’t fathom what she would do in the dark in her swimsuit, especially when he handed her a flashlight. Walking through the dark to the far side of the island made her even more nervous. The path they traveled was narrow and went straight through his private rainforest. There were strange trees and potentially poisonous plants and unseen things living in them. She could hear something rustling in the branches, but she couldn’t find it with her flashlight.
