EIGHTEEN

We spent the rest of the afternoon together, walking around town and discussing his favorite memories of the island. He didn’t want to discuss Veronica and her father, but at least I’d managed to pry from him the fact that Veronica’s father hadn’t approved of her dating Chase in the first place.

The whole thing sounded like one huge mess. And I’d thought my relationship with Ty was complicated.

All too soon, Chase dropped me off near my bungalow, and I closed the door behind me, leaning against it like a swooning TV heroine.

Wow.

It was the only word I could think of to describe the day. First the volleyball incident, which seemed like a blur, followed by the very real and poignant experience of Chase carrying me to the resort medical center. Then the trip to town, which I recalled in sharp detail, our taco lunch, and his uncle story. So intimate. So…just the two of us.

I’d been given a glimpse into Chase that nobody else got to see, and that kind of trust felt both incredible and awful at the same time. Why had I been so free with him today, as if we were friends? We were not friends. We couldn’t be friends, not when I planned to interfere with the wedding that had become his last hope.

I knew exactly how betrayal felt, yet I planned to betray Chase. Between my mom’s behavior the day of my dad’s surgery and the night Ty had dumped me, I understand that gut-wrenching, heart-slicing feeling of being hurt by someone I trusted. Could I do that to Chase when he’d entrusted me with everything that mattered to him? Especially when he had so few people in his life right now?

I tried to see the world from his perspective. Dead parents. Dead uncle who’d left him more money than he knew what to do with. Only one thing that meant anything to him and that would fail the moment I stole Ty away.

When I entered my room, I halted in my tracks. A box wrapped in brown paper and tied with a sophisticated black ribbon sat on my bed.

I jumped onto the mattress, folded my legs under me, and hefted the box into my lap with a grunt. Heavy. Beneath the bow sat an envelope. I tore it open and held my breath as I read the words in neat handwriting.

Daphne,

Here are some of my favorites. I don’t know if these communicate the depth of the human experience, but they did serve to fill some of the admittedly many holes in my soul. I look forward to discussing them with you.

Yours,

Chase
