Chapter 18

Alexis's POV

After Aubrey left the table, I decided to stay and listen to Michelle and my father talk.

"I just don't know what's gotten into her. Her and Mike used to be inseparable." Michelle thought out loud. "Honey, I'm sure she's just thinking realistically. She's in a new state, thousands of miles away from Vermont. What can a long distance relationship really do for her?" My father stated. Michelle? sighed, rubbing her temples. "You are right, Hank. Maybe I should give her some space. I'm beginning to really stress myself out."

"I am glad you've realized that you are stressed. You need something to relax you. How about a vacation?" My father suggested. Michelle looked up at him and smiled. "You sure? We haven't even started planning the wedding yet-" Michelle? started but my father silenced her. "Don't think about that right now. We can go to a tropical island somewhere in the Caribbean. The warm sand and pretty blue waters." Even I painted the mental picture.
