SEVEN YEARS LATERThe warm, salty air of Jamaica greeted Tessa as she stepped off the plane, her heels clicking softly against the tiled floor of the airport.She adjusted her sunglasses and smoothed down her sleek blazer. On the outside, her aura exuded confidence, but on the inside, her nerves were all over the place.She'd come to Jamaica for her best friend Maya's destination wedding, so she was supposed to feel nothing but excitement, right?Of course, she was happy for her best friend, but there was nothing remotely exciting about having to spend a whole week with him in the same house.Tessa balled her hands into fists. Seven years later, and the thought of him—or the sight of his face—never failed to fray her nerves.If it were up to her, she would never have to deal with him again, but of course, it was just her luck that out of all the people Maya could've fallen in love with and decided to marry, she'd settled on Jace, Gendry's best friend.Yes. Gendry Graham.And since Gen

The dinner was being held by the poolside. The beach house belonged to Jace's family, and Tessa had been there before when she and Maya came for a vacation, but she was still stunned by how gorgeous everything looked.Maya began walking towards the table where Jace was sitting, and Tessa followed her. However, she stiffened when she realized that Jace wasn’t the only one sitting at the table.Gendry was there too.He looked maddeningly relaxed, wearing a blue T-shirt that left his tan, hairy forearms exposed. He was laughing at something Jace had said, his head tilted back just enough to show off the strong line of his jaw. Tessa felt tempted to turn and walk somewhere else, but Gendry had already seen her, and she didn’t want him to get any ideas that she cared about his presence.So instead, she squared her shoulders and went to sit at the table with Maya, right beside Gendry, since it was the only chair remaining.“Hey, Tes. Glad you could make it to Jamaica early. Sorry I wasn’t

"—and then the parrot looks him dead in the eye and says, ‘That’s not what you said last time!’”Laughter rang out across the large summer hut, loud and easy, cutting through the night air. Kevin was in the center of it, grinning like he owned the place. He was surrounded by a group of women who seemed hung onto his every word. Whatever he had just said must have been hilarious because even Tessa, who had been acting like an ice queen all day, was laughing too.Gendry watched from where he sat, off to the side, nursing a bottle of beer. His grip on it tightened as Tessa threw her head back, her mouth parting as she laughed, her shoulders shaking slightly.He hadn’t seen her smile like that once today while they were going over the guests assortment. She had barely even looked at him. Just cold, clipped responses and stiff nods. But now? Now she was glowing, eyes bright as she looked at Kevin like he was the funniest man alive.What the hell was so funny anyway?Gendry was almost 90%

The two of them stared at each other in stony silence while everyone watched on expectantly.“Uh… can we continue the game now?” someone finally broke the silence, looking at Tessa. “Tessa, it's your turn to spin the bottle.”Tessa blinked, snapping back to the game. Without a word, she got up and walked to the middle. Grabbing the empty bottle, she gave it a spin. It spun for a few seconds before finally stopping, pointing at Kevin.A grin spread across Kevin's lips. “Well, well, are you not going to ask me the magic question?”Tessa forced a smile. “Truth or challenge?”“Challenge,” he answered immediately, without hesitation.Tessa had been expecting him to give that answer, wondering what was going through his mind. She wasn’t exactly interested in the game, especially with so many people around, so she couldn’t think of any dares to give him.One of Maya’s female cousins groaned. “Ugh, Tessa, just pick something already!”Kevin winked, leaning forward slightly. “Don’t worry, you

“After leaving me looking like a fool, you told your friends that you only asked me to prom so you could humiliate me and show me that I wasn’t as 'special' as I thought. I heard everything!”Tessa’s words hung between them like a cloud.Shock flickered across Gendry’s face, his usual composure breaking for the first time that night. His mouth opened slightly, as if to say something, but no words came.Tessa stared at him, her heart pounding against her ribs. Somehow, she wanted him to deny it, to tell her she was wrong or that there was another explanation, even though she knew there wasn’t. But the silence stretched, and with every second, her chest tightened even further.A bitter snort escaped her. “Nothing to say now?” she asked, her voice sharp, yet barely above a whisper.Gendry parted his lips again, but before he could speak, a voice from the group called out teasingly, “The song’s over, guys… unless you plan on dancing all night?”Tessa’s body jolted as if woken from a spel
