After She's Terminal The Alpha Regrets (Elaine and Lucas) novel Chapter 317

Harriet smiled. “A spa day!”

Elaine wasn’t going to refuse such a day. So after the two got ready, they headed out of the house and to the boardwalk, where there was a beachfront spa. Elaine ended up paying for the both of them, as a thank you to Harriet.

Massages. Facials. Mud bath.

By late afternoon, they were resting in the sauna. All the tension Elaine had felt from the events leading up to now simply melted away.

She sighed, leaning her head back against the wall. Steam filled the room as Harriet dumped another cup of water over the hot stones.

“You know,” Harriet mused. “I always knew you had a thing for Liam.”

Elaine’s eyes popped open. “What?”

“From the very first time you met him there was something there.”

“There was not!”

“Was too. I notice these kinds of things, we’ve been over this.” Harriet looked at her out of the side of her eye. “Even when you were still married to Lucas, if you could call it a marriage.”

Elaine laughed. “It hardly was. More like a business partnership.” She leaned forward, resting her hands on the bench beside her thighs. “If you’re so good at reading people then, where’s your ‘Liam’?”

Harriet laughed, shaking her head. “I may or may not have been seeing someone.”

“Really?” Elaine asked, sitting up. “Oh, do tell!”

“No way. You’ll chase him off.”

“As if.”

Harriet stretched. “I’ll tell you about him if it becomes serious, how about that?”

“Alright, alright, keep your secrets for now,” Elaine said with an amused smile.

Harriet smiled as she spread out on the bench, a towel at her waist. A comfortable silence stretched between the two of them. Then was broken as Harriet spoke up once more.

“So you and Liam.”
