Chapter 31
Olivia is in her bedroom, packing clothes into her suitcase and humming a random tune. There is an excited smile on her face that just won't fade. Tomorrow I'll be seeing Caity and Sean!, Olivia jubilantly thinks. She zips the suitcase closed and leaves it on the bench at the foot of the bed. She peers into her carry-on bag to confirm that her passport and tickets are packed and ready for take-off. Olivia looks up from her purse as the bedroom door opens and Del strides in.

"Darlin'," Del says.

Olivia nods at Del and softly offers a greeting. Ever since the night a few weeks ago when she fantasized Gregory came to her, things with Del hadn't been the same.

Del glances at her luggage. "Goin' somewhere?" he asks coolly.

Olivia glanced at him sharply, knowing that he was aware of her plans to make a trip back to the U.S. "Yes. New Hampshire for Sean's graduation…Remember?"

"Oh right," he says absentmindedly, "when you leaving?"

"In about seven hours."

"Good. That's plenty of time for me to pack," Del replies.

Olivia whirls around and asks, "What? Why would you come?"

Del advances on Olivia and says with over-the-top sincerity, "Darlin'…How can you ask that? Of course I'm coming with you. If it's important to you, it's important to me."

"But…But…," Olivia sputters, "You don't even have a ticket!"

Del reaches into his suit jacket's inner pocket and pulls out a long envelope with the airline's logo. "Here's a ticket. I upgraded you from first class to business class so we can fly together." Olivia continues to stare at Del with a bewildered expression. He turns his back to Olivia and says with a hurt tone, "Darlin', do you not WANT me to come with you?"

"No, no…I just thought…I mean, I didn't know that you wanted to accompany me."

Del turns around and says, "Well, now you know. If you'll give me a moment, I'm going to pack and then shower….Want to join me in the shower?"

Olivia grimaces slightly, but quickly recovers and says, "I've already showered. I'm going to take a nap." Olivia walks quickly out of the bedroom before Del can respond.

Del starts to unbutton his shirt and walks into the closet. You're nuts if you think I'm letting you near those two brats of yours without me, Olivia, he thinks to himself.

Chapter 32
Gregory and Caitlin follow the bellhop down the hall towards the suite they reserved. The bellhop shows them in and deposits their luggage. He waits expectantly and looks to Gregory. Gregory sighs, reaches into his billfold and hands the young kid a bill. The bellhop eagerly pockets the bill and exits the room.

Caitlin drags her suitcase into the bedroom she'll be occupying. "Daddy," she calls out from the bedroom, "I'm having dinner with Sean tonight. You should come too."

Gregory makes a face and replies, "I don't think so Cait."

Caitlin pokes her out of the door and says, "Please Daddy. It's only dinner. We're only going to see Sean at the graduation; I want to spend more time with him."

"You'll spend time with him when he comes back to Sunset Beach," Gregory says as he sits down and lights a cigar.

"Daddy, he isn't coming back to Sunset Beach right away. He's decided to go to Europe for the summer. I think he's going to spend a few weeks in Geneva with Mom."

"Typical," Gregory says as he exhales a long puff of smoke. "I'll only see Sean then tomorrow at his graduation. Remind me to give him some cash so he can't say I let him go hungry."

"Fine Daddy," Caitlin sighs as she walks back into her room.

Chapter 33
Olivia leans back in the seat of the chauffeured car that takes her and Del from the airport to the hotel. She closes her eyes and stretches her legs.

Del pours himself a scotch from the mini-bar and stares out the window in between sips. He watches Olivia out of the corner of his eye and contemplates asking if Gregory would be attending. Better not to mention him. Besides, it's not as if Greg and the boy get along…He probably won't show up, Del thinks.

The ride continues in silence and Del nudges Olivia awake as the car pulls into the driveway of the hotel.

"Hmm…" Olivia mumbles.

"We're at the hotel. I'm going to check in. I'll be back to get you when I'm through," Del says before closing the door. He walks into the rustic lobby and spends a few moments checking in. After he has secured room keys, he heads back to the car for Olivia. He opens the door to find that she has fallen back asleep.

"Darlin', let's go," he says. "Do you want to grab some dinner in the hotel's restaurant?"

Olivia opens her eyes slowly and shakes her head. "I'm exhausted," she yawns. "I'm going to sleep. But you go. Give me a key and I'll find my way to the room."

Del helps Olivia out of the car and gives her one of the two room keys. "Hey you," Del says to the bellhop. "Escort Mrs. Richards to our room and leave our luggage there. Take care of her," he orders as he tosses a few bills at the young kid.

"Yes sir," the bellhop says. "This way ma'am," he says to Olivia as he makes his way into the hotel.

Del kisses Olivia's cheek and promises that he'll be along shortly. He watches as Olivia and the bellhop disappear into the elevator. Del strides into the restaurant and glances around while he waits for the hostess to seat him. He spots a person in the corner of the room and makes his way over to the table. "Well Greg," Del booms, "fancy meetin' you here."

Gregory slowly looks up from the paper he was reading. Their eyes meet and hatred crackles out from Gregory's eyes and meets the smugness that Del's emits. The two men are locked in a staring contest and neither are willing to break away first.
