Chapter 10

Aurora

I’d barely been able to contain my excitement all day. It had been a struggle to get through the exam, but once I’d finished, we raced home and got ready for some time off. The ferry ride felt like it took forever, but now I sat in the car out front of her brother’s house waiting while Lorelai pulled her things from the car.

“Have a good time. If you need me, just text and I’ll come get you early if needed,” I told Lorelai as she pulled the last bag from the back seat.

Lorelai was helping her brother and Candace with wedding plans for the weekend, and since her brother Phil was best friends with her ex, Hugo, and he was in the wedding party, I wanted her to make sure she knew she had an out if she needed.

“Thanks, but Candace promised me he wouldn’t be there this weekend. She’s been trying to talk Phil out of having him in the wedding party too. She says it’s not fair to me after we broke up to allow him to be part of the family. I just hope she can convince him. God, could you imagine how horrific that would be, being stuck on a tiny island with him?”

“Hawaii isn’t that tiny,” I said, checking my phone for messages.

“Ha, says you. It is very tiny if your ex is on it with you. Believe me.”

“Hey, just remember you hold the power, my dear. He dumped you, remember?”

“I know. Doesn’t mean I want to see him soon. I especially don’t want to see him with someone else when I’m single. Phil told Candace he’s apparently bringing someone.”

I frowned. “The invites haven’t even gone out yet. How does he know he’s even allowed to bring a plus one?”

I got out of the car and hugged my best friend. “I get it. Breathe and have a good time,” I said as I made my way around to the driver’s side and climbed back in the car.

“Where are you going to be?”

“Dylan’s,” I said, my stomach flipping with butterflies.

The butterfly feeling started when we’d gotten off the phone last night. I couldn’t stop wondering where that conversation was going to go when we’d been so rudely interrupted. However, thinking back, I was glad nothing had happened. I’d never had phone sex before.

“So you didn’t tell your mother you were coming to Vancouver?”

I shook my head. “I haven’t spoken to her. I’m almost positive that she and Joe are still on their honeymoon in Europe, anyway.”

“Alright, well, have fun. I’ll call if I need.”

I waved and looked toward the house to see Candace step out onto the front porch. I waved, said good-bye to Lorelai once more, and then pulled away from the curb. I made my way through Vancouver, finally pulling into the parking lot of Dylan’s building. I glanced around and noticed his car parked in his spot, so I pulled into the visitors’ section and parked in the only available spot and made my way inside.
