Chapter Six

“Wait, what?” Cassie crossed her arms. “I thought you wanted to stay here for the vacation. I’m sure other islands are nice, but there’s still so much we haven’t seen here and…”

“I know, I know. I just thought Maui might be a good place to explore too, and Josh will be there to show us around.”

“I get it, Hanna. It’s been ages since a guy turned your head. But you can’t chase him around like this. You barely know him.”

“I’m not chasing him. And it’s not like I’m giving up on our vacation. It’s just…a slight alteration to our plans. ”

“Hanna, don’t try to make excuses. I’ve seen the look in your eyes. The way you smile and daydream. Come on. Just the way you’ve sprung out of bed each day should tell you something. You like him. A lot.”

“I mean, I guess I like him enough to follow him to another island. That much is pretty clear.”

“But it’s not fair to me, though. We’ve planned this for ages, and I thought I’d get to see more of my best friend. I didn’t think you’d fall for some guy as soon as we landed.”

“I know. I’m sorry. I just…I’d really like to spend a couple more days…I see you all the time back home, but I won’t see him again, possibly ever…” She swallowed the next few words. She didn’t want to think about that yet.

“Maybe if it was a road trip back home or something, I wouldn’t mind being ditched for a hot guy, but I never thought you’d do it to me on a once-in-a-lifetime vacation.”

“I’m not ditching you. I promise. I’ll prove it to you somehow.”

“You already have, Hanna. You’ve gone off on your own a bunch already.”

“You said you didn’t mind. For the second scuba, you told me to do it.”

Cassie shook her head. “I was just trying to be nice. I could tell you were crushing on the guy big time. I just didn’t think it would get this big. This is turning into a whole…thing. I don’t even know what to call it.”

“Me either. I just know spending time with him feels right. I know it’s crazy and probably stupid because I haven’t known him that long, but shouldn’t I follow the trail and see where it goes? What if I only get one shot at this?”

“I don’t know if I believe in soulmates, but I think it’s way too soon to be thinking about that.”

“I didn’t mean it quite like that. I just have such bad luck with guys that I don’t get many opportunities with someone nice.”

The thought struck Hanna that she actually had no idea what there was to do on Maui. She assumed most of the same stuff they could do on Oahu, but ultimately, she didn’t know. But she knew just the person to show them around, assuming he’d been there before.

“How about we go out tonight?” Hanna asked. It was also impulsive, but then, it seemed to be her thing lately.
