“I love you. Please.”
Sighing, I pulled up her contact info and blocked her. I felt she would be a problem when I returned to New York. Thank God, I never let her keep any of her things at my place.

There was a part of me that couldn’t stop thinking about Drew. I’d thought that he did everything Jess wanted and nothing he wanted to do. At dinner the other night, he commented about swimming with the dolphins, and I could tell that he really wanted to do it, so I had a thought. Changing into my bikini and throwing my hair up in a ponytail, I slipped on my cover-up and went up to Drew’s suite.
“Hey.” He smiled as he opened the door. “Come on in.”
I got up close to him and took a whiff of his body.
“What are you doing?” He laughed.
“Making sure you smell clean and free of alcohol.”
“Did I pass?”
“Yep. With flying colors.” I smiled. “Anyway, go put on your swim trunks.”
“Why?” He narrowed his eye.
“Because we’re going to go swimming with the dolphins.”
“Seriously?” His grin grew wide.
“Seriously. Now get a move on because Juno is waiting for us.”
“Who’s Juno?” I asked as I walked to the bedroom.
“Our captain.”
We hopped into my rental car, and I drove us to where Juno was waiting for us with his boat.
“Why are you doing this?” Drew asked.
“Doing what?”
“Taking me to swim with the dolphins.”
“I got the impression that since you’ve been here, you have done everything Jess wanted to do and nothing you wanted to. You seemed interested in swimming with the dolphins at dinner the other night, and she just dismissed you. So, I thought you should get the chance to do it while you’re here.” I looked over at him.
“That’s really nice of you. Again, thank you.” He placed his hand on my arm, and suddenly, I felt like I couldn’t breathe.
“Just paying it forward and making your shitty time here a little less shitty.” I grinned.
“I appreciate it.” He laughed.

Swimming with the dolphins was the highlight of my entire trip. I had never experienced anything like it or the sense of peace that inhabited me. When we were finished, we headed back to the hotel.
“That was?—”
“Magical?” Jillian smiled as she glanced over at me.
