Meg wondered if there was some law regarding a person being too happy. Because if there was, she’d be in trouble. After a stop at Cape Cod and a day in Nantucket, Meg and Jason spent the end of their trip in the little coastal town of Boothbay Harbor, Maine. They’d spent two whole days walking around town and exploring the area, enjoying the cool fall weather and great food. They left the boat on their last night, staying instead at a gorgeous waterfront inn in an area known as Spruce Point.

The main building was a big, white house with green shutters and a massive front porch that looked out on the bay, and Meg resolved that this wasn’t the last time she would come here. There was something special here, and she felt like she belonged.

Of course, if she did come back, she’d have to do so knowing she’d be facing down memories of her time with Jason. This honeymoon had turned out to be everything she ever could have wanted in a wedding trip, but the sadness that was swamping her heart at that moment was crushing.

It was almost over, and they’d have to go back to being just friends. It was the only way.

The night was chilly when Meg left Jason asleep in their warm bed and grabbed the soft throw from the couch in their top-floor suite. She wrapped it around her shoulders and stepped out onto the deck, shivering at first from the blast of cold sea air, but then having her breath stolen by the number of stars in the sky overhead.

She understood why this room was called the Captain's Quarters. The ocean was spread out like a blanket that went on forever. Lights from town were to the north, and to the south there was a flicker from what she guessed was a lighthouse in the distance. She imagined some sea captain standing here and thinking about places he’d seen and people he’d loved. Or maybe his wife would stand here and wait for him to return from sea.

Meg chuckled. Her romantic heart never stopped working. It believed in love even when there was no reason to think it ever existed.

Settling herself in one of the Adirondack chairs, she tucked her bare feet under the throw and let the breezes wash over her. The air was clean and fresh and let her think of how she was going to face their separate lives when they returned home.

Meg had lived a fantasy when she was a teenager, believing she and Jason were meant to be together. The days they’d spent on this vacation showed Meg that her teenage self had been right on some level, but on others, sixteen-year-old Meg couldn’t have been more wrong.

Jason may have been her soul mate, but he was not about forever, because he would never love her the way she loved him.

Never. And if Meg had learned anything, she knew she deserved better.

Leaning back and looking at the stars, Meg sighed.
