Waking the next day, Amelia regretted every single glass of champagne and stumbled into the bathroom to get some Tylenol for her headache. Then climbed back into bed.
All the girls were going SUP boarding on the other side of the island, except she absolutely did not feel up to it.
Grabbing her phone and pulling the sheet over her head to block out the sunlight, she typed out a quick text to Emma, apologizing. Just as she was about to send it, another message came through.
Jack.
Her breath hitched.
Oh, my God.
Amelia flung the sheets back and sat up, gaping at the phone. She dropped it and then stared at it some more. Finally, she picked it up again and swiped his name.
As she read the message, tears filled her eyes, and she bit her lip to stop the sob from escaping.
The right thing to do would be to ignore him. Say no and carry on with her life.
But she didn’t.
Instead, Amelia amended her message to Emma.
Sorry, Em, I can’t join you today. I’m catching up with a friend. See you tomorrow. A x
No problem! Have fun. E x
Amelia flicked back to Jack’s message and gave it a teary smile. Wrongly or rightly, she had to see him. A whirlwind of emotions was sweeping through her right now, but as he had from the very beginning, Jack was a magnet she couldn’t resist.
But whether she could trust him again, she didn’t know. Not just as a man she was dating, because they were past that, but as a man to spend the rest of her life with.
She glanced at the text one more time.
Hi sweetheart, I’m in Hawaii and want to see you. Please give me the chance to tell you my side of the story and then decide if you can forgive me. I still love you very much. Jack x.
She read it four more times. Then she sent a reply:I’m in room 4011 of the Dufort Waikiki. See you at 10am. Amelia x.
Despite her hangover, she scrambled out of bed, ordered room service, and stood under the multi-showerheads for at least twenty minutes, willing her headache away.
It took her three changes of clothes to decide on a yellow backless Chanel sundress and a pair of white Prada flip-flops. Lastly, she added the tear-drop diamond necklace Jack had given her.
Then, with a big sigh, she walked out onto her lanai and gazed out across Waikiki Beach, waiting for the knock on her door.
