She couldn’t trust him.
Or maybe anyone.
Which she realized was a problem she’d have to face one day if she wanted to be in a loving, happy relationship.
If not Jack, then who?
No. The heartache she’d endured had already been far too great. If Jack cheated on her, it would be unimaginable and destroy her.
Once again, she brushed it off and decided it could never work between them.
The jet landed an hour later, and a car was parked on the tarmac waiting for them. She sat in the back with Blake and Jacob, who were busy on their phones most of the drive.
“What are we doing today?” Jacob asked, suddenly lifting his head.
“Surfing?” Blake recommended glancing between them both.
“I have a date with Prada and Chanel,” Amelia said. “I’ll walk down to the beach with you, then wander down Kalakaua Ave. Unless you want to come handbag shopping with me.”
“Pass.”
“Pass.”
She let out a chuckle.
Being back in Waikiki brought back all the memories and emotions of being with Jack. As they pulled up out front of the Dufort Hotel and waited as their bags were unloaded, Amelia stared out across the beautiful white sand beach.
“I’ll have these taken to your rooms,” the bellhop said.
Blake tipped the man and then rubbed her arm. “You alright, Ames?”
“Huh?” She blinked and turned to him. “Oh. Yes. Just planning my shopping.”
Jacob and Blake shared a glance, then got distracted when two tiny blondes walked past them wearing only bikinis.
Thong bikinis.
“God, I love Hawaii,” Blake said.
“Let’s get changed and get into the surf.” Jacob grinned.
Amelia shook her head.
They walked into the lobby, the cool air an immense relief from the mid-morning heat and humidity of the island and head towards the elevators.
Amelia slid her phone into the pocket of her short sundress and glanced to her right for reasons she could never explain. It was a powerful magnetic pull she could not ignore.
Jack.
Standing with his luggage at his feet.
He’s leaving?
As their eyes locked and she saw the resigned pain on his face, Amelia felt him deep in her soul. He was hurting. They were lost without one another.
A love so great it was stupid to throw away without trying and giving him the chance to prove who he was.
She knew if she walked away now, they would never reunite.
