for her, who swept her up in his arms, who made her belong to him, would
be everything she'd ever wanted. Together they would build a life,
create a home, carve out a future as polished and perfect as Templeton
House.

As she pictured it, dreams budded in her heart. Delicate color bloomed
on her cheeks while the wind tossed her blond curls around them.

"Laura's dreaming again," Margo commented. Her grin flashed,
transforming her striking face to stunning.

"Got Seraphina on the brain again?" Kate asked.

"Hmm?" No, she hadn't been thinking of Seraphina, but she did now. "I
wonder how often she came here, dreaming of the life she wanted with
Felipe."

"She died in a storm like the one that's coming. I know she did." Margo
lifted her face to the sky. "With lightning flashing, the wind howling."

"Suicide's drama enough by itself." Kate plucked a wildflower, twirled
the stubby stem between her fingers. "If it had been a perfect day, with
blue skies and sunshine, the results would have been the same."

"I wonder what it is to feel that lost," Laura murmured.

"If we ever find her dowry, we should build a shrine or something to
remember her by."

"I'm spending my share on clothes, jewelry, and travel." Margo stretched
her arms up, tucked them behind her head.

"And it'll be gone in a year. Less," Kate predicted. "I'm going to
invest mine in blue chips."

"Boring, predictable Kate." Margo turned her head, smiled at Laura.
"What about you? What will you do when we find it? And we will find it
one day."

"I don't know." What would her mother do? she wondered. Her father? "I
don't know," she repeated. "I'll have to wait and see." She looked back
toward the sea, where the curtain of rain was inching closer. "That's
what Seraphina didn't do. She didn't wait and see."

And the sound of the rising wind was like a woman weeping.

Lightning jagged, a flashing pitchfork of brilliant white through the
heavy sky. The blasting boom of answering thunder shook the air. Laura
threw back her head and smiled. Here it comes, she thought. The power,
the danger, the glory.
