Day 3

When Jayma’s alarm went off, Katie had been in bed for an hour and a half. After returning to her stateroom, she’d gone straight to the shower. Standing under the hot stream, she released the emotions she’d been working hard to suppress. As she cried, she told herself she was being stupid. Her own rules had been no strings, no expectations. She couldn’t bear to admit even to herself that she’d fallen for the handsome man she knew only as ‘you’.

What if? What if I agreed to keep in touch? What if... She couldn’t follow that line of thought. It was too painful. Better to end it as they had. With great memories of amazing sex.

It was later that morning, when, dressed in khaki shorts, a purple tank top, and her hair in a ponytail, Katie carried a small floral canvas backpack purse as she and Jayma hurried to meet Michelle and Chelsea at the gangplank. Once they were off the ship, the four made their way to the waiting area for the excursion to Tulum. A rickety-looking, well-used charter bus stood ready and a small group of passengers had already gathered, all wearing tiny round red stickers marked with T, indicating their destination for the day.

“Do you suppose they’ll stop for coffee or something?” Michelle wondered. “This is very early for a vacation day.”

“I think they said they’re stopping in a little town on the way,” Jayma answered. She looked to Katie, who was quiet and thoughtful. She knew her friend had had little sleep. She’d been awake when Katie had returned to their room.

“Hey, Katie, isn’t that your friend?” Chelsea commented.

Katie looked in the direction Chelsea nodded. There he was across the plaza, and even from her distance, she could see his grin. How could you know someone for mere hours, really, and he gives you such a sense of comfort?

“I’ll be back in a sec. Don’t let them leave without me.” She didn’t wait for a reply.

She crossed the plaza confidently and he met her halfway. “Hey, you,” he smiled.

“Hey, you. I didn’t expect to see you today. Don’t you have a wedding to get to?”

“I do. My brothers are waiting over there.” Katie looked in the direction he indicated to see the two men standing beside a taxi, both watching the proceedings with interest. A glance in the opposite direction showed her friends watching them as well. “I just thought I’d try to catch you before your group left.” His brow furrowed with concern. “How are you this morning?”

Katie pasted on a cheerful smile. “I’m good. How about you?”

“Yeah, I’m good.” He sighed deeply. “Listen, I wanted to say that I meant what I said last night.” He fixed her with an earnest gaze. “I think there’s something here. Maybe we shouldn’t be so quick to walk away.”

She patted his arm reassuringly. “No strings, no expectations. It’s really better this way.”

Mac blew out a frustrated breath, nodding reluctantly. “I understand. But before you go, I wanted to give you something.
