“I don’t care how tired I was. I would never go a single day without talking to you.” And I’ve been rethinking this Cabo trip. I’m not sure how I’ll handle not seeing him for an entire weekend.

“I’m not sure what I would say to her. It’s not as though I’d be able to talk to her like nothing has happened.”

“I thought about your trip to Cabo. Is it too late for me to change my mind about going with you?” Him there and me here… it isn’t right even if it is a breakup trip.

“The only time it would be too late is after they close the doors to the plane.”

“I’ve decided that I want to go with you if that’s all right.”

A smile spreads wide on his face. “I would love that.”

“What’s your flight number and seat assignment? I’ll book as soon as I get home.”

“I’ll take care of everything.”

“Are you sure? I don’t mind doing it.”

“I want to do this for you, my love.”

“Okay, if that’s what you want.”

“I’ve decided that I’m not going to tell her I’m coming until after I get there. I can’t give her the opportunity to tell me to not come.”

Or the opportunity to avoid him if she feels a breakup coming on.

“Do you know where she’s staying?”

“She’s placed some online orders and had some things shipped since she’s been there. I have the address. And then I always have the location of her phone.” It sounds like he has all of this worked out.

Not much longer and he will be all mine.

Cabo San Lucas,Mexico

Present Day

Cabo San Lucas.I’m in a Mexican paradise with the man of my dreams, and I can’t touch him.

This is misery.

We shared a bed last night, and that’s literally all we did. He slept on one side, and I slept on the other. This is the worst case of delayed gratification.

I hate it. I want what I want when I want it. And I want Dawsey.

This morning didn’t begin with Dawsey trying to go down on me. I was a little sad about that. I’m not sure I would have stopped him again. My self-control is crumbling.

This madness ends today. Dawsey has gone to tell Devin everything and end their engagement. And it won’t come a minute too soon.

I can’t wait until he comes back. I wonder what he’ll want to do. Go out for the day and enjoy the stunning pool and sunshine? Or will he want to go back to bed and stay in each other’s arms all day?

I vote for the latter.

The door unlocks, and he comes into the room. I look at the clock and note that he was gone for only thirty minutes.

Oh no. He didn’t find her. “What is it?”
