At first she’d had her doubts, but now that she was in the thing, it wasn’t too bad. She could go forward and backward and, since she didn’t intend to fall out, that was all she needed. For a city girl she was a decent swimmer. Though she hadn’t spent much time in open water, she did laps at the pool several times a week. It was a habit she’d gotten into during her stint at the police academy. The boat was, to her surprise, very steady in the water; even rocking it with her hips didn’t tip it easily. She tested the kayak again, learning the boundaries as the instructor, Jim, had advised. Jim paddled easily among the people in the group, correcting and encouraging them. So this was the guy Ivy had the hots for. He was cute enough. Though his granola-eating hippie looks weren’t Sarah’s style, he had a nicely toned body and a pretty face surrounded by shaggy blond hair. He was a flirt, too, and had smiled at her a little too much during introductions, until Logan had put the kibosh on that.
