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

You’re an idiot. But I get it. Kind of. I know you’re protecting yourself even though I really don’t understand what you’re truly protecting yourself from. You said your sister’s friend, Lily, didn’t belong here. That she’s happy and you’re happy she is. You said that looking back, everything happened the way it did because that’s how it was meant to be.


So why, Owen, do you still feel this need to stop yourself from feeling or better yet, from falling? From experiencing greatness? Lily didn’t hurt you. You hurt yourself. I’m sorry, but you’re acting like an immature asshole. There’s no other way to put it. You overheard one side of a conversation. Yes, it was my side but you have no idea that I’d just found out that not only was my ex-husband squatting in my home, he had invited his stripper-girlfriend who’s six months pregnant with his child. Which means he got her pregnant while we were still married.


Go ahead and let that settle in a little bit. Go on. I’ll wait.
