I nursed a cup of Kona coffee the size of a big gulp as I looked across the kitchen table at my grandmother, now pushing a plate of white rice, eggs and spam my way.

“Eat. It will help take your mind off things.”

“Grandma, I don’t want to take my mind off things. He said he’ll be back today, and I… I still have to figure out what I think about all of this.”

“You mean you don’t know?” She frowned at me from across the plastic tablecloth. “How can you not know? Do you love him?”

I blew a piece of hair out of my face and leaned back, crossing my arms.

“I… I thought I did.”

“Thought you did? When was this, Aolani?”

“When we were traveling together. Working together. It was when we got to Scotland that he broke my heart, and… Well, now I just don’t know.”

“Ah,” Grandma said, leaning back. “I see.”

“What?” I frowned at the old woman sitting across from me. “I know that look, tutu.”

My grandmother smiled at me, the corners of her eyes wrinkling. “You do love him. You’re just being a chicken shit.”

“Grandma!”

“What?” she said, sipping out of her own coffee mug. “I tell it like it is.”

“But…”

I thought of all of the reasons why I was afraid to go to Gavin, to give him my heart, and suddenly, all I could hear were his words on the beach.

I love you, Aolani Kahale. More than I’ve ever loved anyone else.

I saw the look in his eyes—the look that told me everything I needed to know—but still, the fear remained.

“But what about the studio, huh? Didn’t you always tell me if something’s too good to be true, it probably is? I’m just trying to be smart about this. Like you taught me.”

She reached across the table and patted my hand. “Babe, when it comes to love, sometimes you have to get out of your own head. Get out of your own way. Did he say he’d give you the studio no matter what?”

“Yeeees,” I began, but Grandma raised a finger.

“So what’s the problem? He’s not trying to buy your heart, kiddo. He’s trying to give you his.”

I sat back at that, and suddenly, I was crying again, my mouth open in a sob, tears rolling down my cheeks. My grandmother’s hand tightened around my own, letting me cry it out, gasping with the power of the emotions finally breaking free of the dam I’d built around them.

“But w-what… what if I’m wrong? What if he hurts me?”

“Do you think he will, dear one? When you think of the kind of man he is, what do you see?”

I held my grandmother’s hand like a lifeline as I thought back, about the way he was with his crew, the way he joked with the photographers, the warmth of his love for his brothers… and even the promise he’d tried so hard to keep to Fiona. The promise of love to a woman long gone.

“He’s a good man,” I said, my tears wetting my cheeks although my breathing was steadying now.
