It wasn’t long before Elizabeth wished she’d never left Josie’s couch. Phil followed her around the house, asking her a string of mundane questions. No, she hadn’t had any more thoughts about sightseeing trips for their honeymoon. Yes, she would call his mother to update her on wedding plans. No, she didn’t want to go out for dinner. Why wouldn’t he just leave her alone?

“I’ve actually got a bit of work to finish,” Elizabeth said finally. “I’m afraid I’ll be holed up in the study all afternoon. Why don’t you see if your dad fancies a round of golf?”

He gave her a peck on the cheek. “Great idea.”

She told him to have fun and went up to the study until she heard him leave. Having the house to herself for the afternoon felt like the ultimate luxury. She lay on the couch staring at the ceiling, contemplating how everything had gone wrong. She missed Max so much. There really was a part of her that longed to get in the car and go and find him. Except then what? Would he actually leave his fiancée and run away with her? It was absurd. But if she could go back to that last morning on the beach, Elizabeth knew she wouldn’t be able to walk away again. She’d agree to anything; no matter how outlandish it seemed. If she’d known then how much she’d miss him, there was no way she’d have left.

If only she’d taken his number. She’d call him now, just to hear his voice. Tears dripped slowly down her cheeks and she wiped at them angrily. What was she thinking? Was she really considering giving up the life she’d worked so hard for? Could she walk away from her job? From Phil? From her home? And if she did, would she be happy?

What she needed to do was stop taking things for granted and being so negative. She had a great life and she needed to focus on all the positives. She’d make more effort with Phil and remind herself how lucky she was. Jumping up from the couch, she decided she’d go shopping and cook a romantic meal for that evening.

Everything would be fine.
