“Yes. Very magical. Listen, I was thinking. I want to thank you for such a great day, so I was hoping you’d agree to have dinner with me tonight.”
“You don’t have to take me to dinner, Drew.”
“I know I don’t. I want to.” I smiled. “I’m leaving tomorrow morning, so I thought one last dinner would be nice.”
The grin on her face widened. “Okay. Dinner it is. Just give me some time to shower and get ready.”
“How about I pick you up at six o’clock?”
“Six will be good.”
Walking into my suite, I headed to the bathroom and turned on the water for a shower. Spending the day with her was amazing, and the things I’d felt for her before only intensified. Being with her and in her presence made me a happy man. I hadn’t felt this way in a very long time, if ever. Leaving tomorrow morning would be hard because I’d probably never see her again. It didn’t matter anyway. She was on a journey to find herself, and I wouldn’t stand in the way of that. For tonight, I would enjoy the next few hours spent with her, and then tomorrow, it was back to reality with only the memory of a girl I met on a plane who enriched my life in such a short period of time.
Chapter Eleven
Jillian
Stepping out of the shower and slipping into my robe, I Facetimed Kellan.
“Hey, you. How’s it going in Hawaii?”
“It’s great. How are you?” I asked as I started to put on my makeup.
“I’m good. No complaints. Are you going somewhere?”
“Yeah.” I smiled as I looked at my phone. “I’m having dinner with Drew.”
“You’re having dinner with the guy from the plane and his girlfriend?”
“Nope. Just him. He broke up with her and kicked her out.”
“Jilly Bean, I thought you were in a man-free zone?”
“I am. It’s a goodbye dinner. He’s leaving tomorrow, and so am I. No big deal.”
“He broke up with her in Hawaii? Wow.”
“I know, but he was very unhappy. She was kind of a bitch.”
“So let me get this straight. He broke up with his girlfriend while on vacation, may I add, you broke it off with Grant, and now the two of you are single and having dinner together. Sounds like a rebound to me.”
“Ugh, Kellan. It’s dinner. It’s not like I’m sleeping with him. He’s my friend.”
“Where does he live?”
“I don’t know. I never asked.”
“Why? Don’t friends usually ask each other where they live?”
“Does it matter? It’s not like I’ll ever see him again.”
“True.”
“I’m hanging up now, Kel. I’ll call you when I get to New York.”
“Sounds good, Bean. Have a good night with Airplane Guy and have a safe flight.”
“Thanks. I’ll talk to you soon.”
