Suddenly, I want to pretend, which is
ridiculous. I want to act as if there was never any problem between us, as if
the magic had never disappeared.

The
next morning, I leave my room early. Despite my exhaustion, I can’t stay in
bed. My closeness to Ethan last night troubled me more than I would have
imagined, so I’m glad to see I have the patio all to myself. I’m thinking
everyone else will probably sleep until late, but I don’t even have time to get
started on my breakfast when Ethan approaches my table. With a burning gaze, he
slowly looks me up and down from my top to my sandals. Just when I’m about to
make a cutting remark, he says, “Please, don’t go.”
“Sorry?”
“I
know you’re thinking about accepting Vincent’s proposal. Please don’t. Come
spend the day with me.”
