explode, and the plane began to dip low. | opened my eyes, gripping the arm rest tightly as the plane began to
land.
Once we officially touched the ground, I let out a breath of relief.
The seatbelt light turned off and they allowed us to leave the plane by section. Once we were safely off the
plane, | felt like | could kiss the ground. Nan and | had barely spoken since our argument earlier and even as we
walked over to baggage claim, | could still f*e the strain on our relationship. She was quiet and | knew she was
lost in thought, just as | was.
We got our luggage and started towards the exit. | was bracing myself for the hot air, but nothing could of

“What now?” Nan asked as she looked around, seemingly comfortable in her element. She always liked the heat;
summer was her favorite season.
“I guess we get a cab to the hotel,” | said, pulling out my phone and bringing up the email that Levi Churchill
senta few days ago. It had the hotel information; it was only a few miles away from the airport and near the
beach, so it shouldn't take us long to get there. “Here's the address for the resort,” | said, pointing at it.
Nan nodded and turned towards the busy streets.
“Leave it to me,” she said confidently. She walked towards the curb and whispered, holding up her hand. In
seconds, a cab was stopping in front of her. She grinned and glanced over her shoulder at me. “I was always
good at getting a cab back in the city,” she explained. “Before | got my car that is.”
| chuckled and grabbed my things off the ground, rushing towards the cab. The Cab driver was kind enough to
pop his back trunk and get out of the car to help with our luggage. Just as we were about to get into the cab, |
caught a glimpse of Sammy sitting on one of her suitcases looking exhausted and defeated. She was staring at
her phone with a deep frown and tears clear in her eyes.
“Sammy?” | called after her.
She lifted her gaze to meet mine and forced a small smile.
“Oh, hi,” she said softly.
“Is everything okay?” | asked as | walked over to her, motioning for the cab driver to hold on a second. Nan
stayed by our things and the cab to make sure no one else took it.
“Not really,” Sammy sighed. “My boyfriend was supposed to cand pickup, but something cup and
he’s unable to get here.”
“Do you need a ride?” | asked her.
She raised her brows.
“Really?” She asked.

“I'm assuming he’s at the resort, right?” | asked. “You can ride with us. We are heading there now.”

She nodded quickly.
“Yes, that would be great. Thank you!” She breathed.

| told the cab driver the address and he plugged it into the GPS. Just as we were driving off, something caught
my eye. There were a ton of paparazzi surrounding someone that | couldn't quite see. They were flashing their
cameras and asking them questions. | strained my neck to get a glimpse of what was going on, but I could hardly
see around the large crowd, and we were too far away.
“I wonder what's going on over there,” Nan said, following my gaze.
| shrugged.
“Who knows,” | muttered. “Probably srich jerk.”
She nodded in agreement, and we rested for the next 20 minutes until we reached the biggest and prettiest
resort | had ever seen.
