I purchased two bikinis yesterday within the first hour of shopping, then went back to my hotel room to get ready for the night. The events of the day had exhausted me, and I fell asleep pretty quickly by the end of it, only to be woken up a few times by my cell phone. Sean must have a screw loose if he thinks I’d give him a second chance, but judging by his messages he’s dealing with some serious regrets. There’s this guilt that’s been festering in my soul, for letting things go as far as they went with him.

The four of us tried out the Boulevard pool today, where we rented a cabana. Other than a few clipped words here and there, Luke and I didn’t speak. He’d given me my space, and I’d been appreciative for it. Last night, when we’d all walked the strip, we were both somber, keeping our distance. Whenever Gia brought up our quiet demeanor, we’d seemed to be on the same page, just shrugging it off, pretending to be oblivious.

We’d spent nearly all day at the pool, with nothing resolved, but the air was different between us. Several times our eyes would lock, and the heat of his gaze had sparked a fire within me, causing several moments of awkwardness. An accidental brush of the skin would fluster me. I’d ordered a drink to calm my nerves, but it only made my reaction to him worse.

Now I’m standing in front of the mirror, wondering if I’ve chosen the right dress for the evening. It seems fitting since I’ve made the decision to talk to him tonight. I’ve been doing a lot of thinking since our last conversation, and believe I owe it to him to hear the rest of it. He made a lot of sacrifices, and I’m starting to realize I’m not the only one who’s hurting. Every now and then I see the pain in his eyes. Maybe after dinner we can find a place to be alone and clear the air between us. I think it’ll be a relief for both of us.

The last time I’d worn this, it’d been wrapped in a box with a pretty red bow on top. It’s the nicest dress I own. I feel a sense of feminine power, and I will need all the strength I can get, if I go through the plans I have for the night. I press my fingers to my toenails, making sure the polish is dry enough, then step into my matching red stilettos, before shoving a pair of sandals into my purse. There’s no way I can handle these three-inch stems for more than a couple of hours, but they’re meant to go with the dress, and I like the way they accentuate my legs.

Leaving my hair down in loose waves, I make my eyes smoky the way Gia had shown me, then dust my lips in a nude gloss. I barely recognize my own reflection, but I’m satisfied with my appearance.
