A couple of days later, late in the afternoon, she was sitting in the garden reading Pride and Prejudice all over again. She was wondering why she kept punishing herself by thinking of Sebastian, but she couldn’t seem to help herself.

Just then her mother came outside and called, “Arielle! Are you out there?”

“Yes, Mother, I’m out here reading.”

“Monica called from St. Jean to let you know that a young man is looking for you.”

Arielle’s breath stopped in her throat, and her lungs locked. Monica was the housekeeper that took care of their holiday home. She felt numb, unable to move, until she heard her mother’s voice again.

“Arielle, did you hear me?”

“Yes, Mother, I did. Did she say what he wanted?”

“She said that he lost the number for your mobile, he wanted her to call you to get the number.”

“Thank you, Mummy, I’ll call her back shortly,” she said. She took a deep breath, another deep breath, and picked up the phone, her hand trembling.

Monica picked up on the second ring.

“Hello, Monica, it’s Arielle. Is he still there?”

“No, he left, but he said he would be back tomorrow to see if I had been in touch with you.”

“Did he tell you his name?”

She wasn’t sure why she even asked that. She just wanted to act as if Sebastian was of no importance to her.

“Yes, he said his name was Sebastian Gaulle.”

Instantly her heart began beating at a very fast rate, her face flushed, and that same breathless excitement took over her whole body.

She gave Monica her phone number and thanked her for calling. Then she hung up the phone and sank back on the bench, staring at the trees.

One million questions filled her mind. What would she say if she had the chance to talk with him again? How could she address the Annabel issue without letting him know that she had been intruding in his family affairs? Why would he even want to talk to her? She was sure Annabel had told him that she had been at the house. How would he ever be able to explain Annabel to her? And what about all the things he had told her in the magical days they had shared at the beach?

Once again she felt like she was going out of her mind once again. One thing she knew for sure, the next day she would be waiting all day for his call.

That night she lay awake in her bed, rehearsing the way she would handle the call. She was desperately in love with him and she couldn’t do anything about that. At five o’clock in the morning her eyes were still open, but her body was tired and she felt exhausted.

Suddenly her phone rang and the sound made her jump. She had fallen asleep and she was completely disoriented. In trying to get to the phone, she fell out of bed. She finally picked up on the fifth ring, totally out of breath and whimpering a bit from the pain of her fall.
