Chapter Eleven: A New Year (Living for Today)

Ava

Christmas was wonderful. It came and went too fast in my opinion. Just before everyone leaves, I remember that Dad said he wanted to talk to me.

“Hey, we didn’t get to talk.”

“That’s okay, it can wait until the next time.”

“Are you sure? I have some time now.”

“I’m sure.”

He wanted to talk to me in private, it sounded like it was important. “Okay, whatever you say.”

I kiss and hug Mom and Dad before they leave. Walking into the house, I sigh. “It’s great having company, but wow, that was a lot of people.”

“It was. I’m glad to have a few days of doing nothing before the guests start to arrive.”

“Me, too.”

“When is Drew coming back?”

“In a week or two. I needed some space. Things with him are great, but they’re just moving so fast.”

“They are, aren’t they?”

“I like him. He’s wonderful in every way, but so much has happened in such a short time.” She stares up at the ceiling. “I just want some time to think.”

“I get it. Go down to Tybee Island and spend the day.”

“Do you want to come with me?”

“I think I’ll pass. I want to read Xander’s new book.”

“Do you want me to stay around here? It sounds like that book is going to be a tear jerker.”

That’s putting it mildly. “No, I’ll be fine.”

As soon as Skylar’s gone, I lock up the inn and lie on my bed and read. This book is written differently from Xander’s other books. This could be a biography. It begins when his cancer is confirmed growing and spreading and when the doctor tells him he will die within the year without aggressive treatments and surgery. He writes about walking into the inn and seeing me for the first time. This book is written in first person and he describes his rapidly beating heart and his thoughts of seeing the most beautiful woman in the world. I cry. He changed the names of the characters, but he described them perfectly to our true appearance. He also used the real name of the inn and the tearoom.

To read about Xander’s inner thoughts is private and personal. I had no idea what his first thoughts were of me. I read a little, and then I cry a lot. I don’t stop reading until the book is finished. The book is amazing. Xander said in the book that he was madly in love with the innkeeper. Everything about the book was about our short life together. Did he really love me? He never said those words if he did. I often wondered if I loved him. I miss him, and I wanted more time with him. He loved me. He wanted me happy.

Setting the book down on the nightstand, I cry myself to sleep.

Standing in the corner of the room, I focus on the vision before me. A man who looks like every picture I have ever seen of Connor saunters across the room toward me. He’s wearing a black suit, with a red tie.
