I sighed as I brought my ankle to my knee and took a sip of my drink.
“Maybe you’re right. I don’t know.”
“There was something about her that captivated you when you first saw her. And even though she was disguised as someone else that night of the gala, you knew it was her. And why?” he asked.
“Her smile.”
“Exactly, bro. That smile belongs to Kate Harper and always has, no matter how many different people she became. You already saw a real piece of her and that’s what drew you to her in the first place. Give her a break and let the rest of the real Kate Harper emerge. She will, trust me.” He grinned.
“Are you sure your passion is with music?” I cocked my head.
“Yeah. I’m sure.” He smirked. “You know I’ve always had this little gift of seeing through people. Anyway, thanks for the drink. I better get going. Me and the band are heading to L.A. in a few days to record. I’m so stoked.”
We both stood up and I gave my brother a tight hug.
“I’m really happy for you, Caleb. Just don’t forget about me when you’re this huge off-the-charts rock star.”
“Nah, bro. You’re my fam and the most important person in my life. I love you.”
“I love you too. Now get out of here.” I patted his back.
Chapter 26
Kate
As I was packing, there was a light knock on my door.
“Come in,” I softly spoke.
“I see you’re packing,” Gabriel said as he walked into the room.
“Yep.”
I turned to the closet and grabbed a couple of sundresses I purchased for the trip.
“By the way, how long are we going to be in Hawaii?” I asked.
“A few days. Why?”
“Just wondering how much I should pack.”
“Listen, Kate. I want to apologize for earlier.”
“Apology accepted,” I spoke as I neatly folded the sundresses and put them in my suitcase. “Now if you’ll excuse me, I want to finish packing before I come down to your room.”
“About that. I think it would be best to take tonight off. I’ve had a long day and so have you, and we both need our rest before our four a.m. flight.”
“Four a.m.?” I cocked my head. “What time are we leaving the house?”
“Carl will be waiting outside for us at three.”
“That doesn’t give us enough time to get to the airport, check our bags, and go through security,” I spoke.
“We aren’t flying commercial. I’ve rented a private jet. Once we arrive in Hawaii around three o’clock, we have a couple of hours until we need to be down at the restaurant for a special grand opening dinner, so pack something formal.”
“Why are you just telling me this now?” I glared at him. “I don’t have anything formal here. All my dresses are back at my apartment.”
He sighed. “I’ll make a few calls and have some dresses waiting in the hotel suite when we arrive. What size are you?”
