“That’s some soft spot,” Jack says. He presses his lips against my nose.

“Stop,” I say and smile.

Heat curls up my neck and into my cheeks.

“You’re adorable when you blush. He traces my cheek with his fingertips. “You’re always adorable.” His voice is soft. A gentleness without kidding.

These moments were always my moments with Jack. A softness. A kindness. Yes, the world always got jovial fun-loving Jack, but I also got soft, kind, serious Jack, too. This. These moments, were what we had together and I miss them.

My chest tightens.

“Hey, hey, what’s wrong?” He presses his fingers to my chin and tilts my head up. I meet his gaze.

“I…I never got to say goodbye. I never got to know…to know why?” Tears drip down my cheeks. Pain careens around my chest. I press my fingers across my cheeks wiping away tears. Deep breath. This isn’t exactly how I wanted to wake up after having sex with Jack. I roll away from him, to get out of bed.

“Hey, Em?” He presses his hand to my hip and pulls me back to face him. “I’m sorry. I…I can make all kinds of excuses and give you all kinds of reasons, but first of all, I’m sorry.”

I swallow around the lump in my throat. I needed those words. I…I didn’t even realize how much I needed to hear those words from Jack.

“Me leaving wasn’t because of anything you did or didn’t do. Me leaving had everything to do with me. I was afraid that I couldn’t be the guy you needed me to be.”

I narrow my eyebrows. “I…I don’t understand. We had a plan. You were getting better. You were back to where you were before the accident. Look, I know that you weren’t going to ride big waves anymore but—”

Jack shakes his head. He drops his gaze and then looks at me again. “It wasn’t about the waves. It was about life. What you wanted and what I wanted. When I woke up in that hospital, the next six months were all about getting well. And then after that, it was all about us. And…I liked it being all about us, but Em, something shifted in me. I…I didn’t need what you needed…I…wanted life to be quieter and—”

“What do you mean by quieter?”

“I mean, I didn’t want to build an empire, I wanted to build one store.”

His words are like a bucket of ice water to my face. “So you’re saying that my ambition drove you to abandon me in Phuket? Is that what you’re saying? That you didn’t like that I wanted to build Bliss Boards into a profitable and successful business, that—”

“No, no, no.” Jack says and shakes his head. “That’s not what I meant.”

I press my hand to his chest and yank the sheet around me. “I think it’s time for you to go. This little walk down memory lane has satisfied my nostalgia and I think this’ll be quite enough.”

“You’re not hearing what I’m saying to you.”

“Excuse me? I’m
