When I arrived at your resort, I was broken. Emotionally and professionally, I had nothing left.

The last three books I published bombed and the ink was barely dry on my divorce papers. The divorce I never saw coming.

All I needed was peace and quiet, and you gave it to me. 

That and so much more.

Hope. Courage. Friendship.

Passion.

The last thing I want to do is leave, but if I stayed, I'd only be staying for you.

Staying for You

The sun filters through the window and I smile. Cami’s naked body is curled up, back facing me, not touching but still close. Her hair is covering her face and she’s snoring lightly. I woke her up once in the night when my body woke me up because it recognized that she was in my bed and naked.


I have no idea how I’ve grown attached to Cami in such a short amount of time or how I’m going to remind myself that when it’s time for her to leave, it’s the right thing for her to do. For the life of me, though, I can’t help but think that she belongs here.


Last night, I dreamt of a different outcome. She was getting ready to leave and I was fighting against the urge to beg her to stay. Her blue eyes were filled with tears when she looked at me and I couldn’t stop myself from telling her I wanted her here and that we’d figure it all out.
