Nathan’s POVI’m in the car on the way to the deluxe catamaran at Ma’alaea Harbor. I can’t wait to see Amelie. It’s only been a few hours, but I literally want to envelop her in a hug and never let her go.Our car stopped at the pier and we hopped out. By the looks of it, the girls hadn’t arrived yet. I checked the location of the car service, and it looked like they were less than five minutes away.“Man, you got it bad, huh?” Paul stated.“I don’t know how to explain it, Paul. She’s my everything,” I replied. “I feel like I need her as much as I need oxygen.”“I wish I could find that,” Paul revealed. “I’ve never had that feeling.”“You will, buddy,” I replied. “When you least expect it, it will happen.”I looked up to see a car approaching.“That must be the girls,” I said.

Nathan’s POVI’ve gotten so many beautiful pictures of Amelie in the water. A sea turtle seemed to have fallen in love with her. It kept following her around. At one point, it came up and looked like it was kissing her cheek. I chuckled to myself, it must know her safe word is turtles.Of course, Amelie had to name the turtle. Donatello, or Donnie for short, is our new Hawaiian pet. When we finally got out of the water to set sail, Donnie actually tried to climb the stairs with her. She was heartbroken when we left him behind.Jake sat her down and told her about the Hawaiian goddess, Kaulia. She was a sea turtle goddess who transformed from a turtle to a human girl to protect all of the Keiki, the Hawaiian word for children. Jake said being loved by a turtle is a special thing that means she is very special and has the spirit of Kaulia in her. He also said that children would be drawn to her because of her spirit. I already knew she was special; eve

Nathan’s POVI came up from changing to find Amelie hugging Madison. What a change a couple of days make. I truly trust Amelie’s gut feeling on Madison, but I’m still leery of her. I can’t get the image of her at the top of the stairs as Amelie lay at the bottom of them. I’m still going to keep an eye on her.“Supper is served,” Keke announced.We all glance over to the bar, and there is a taco bar. Fish, steak, and chicken plus all the fixings. It looked amazing.“I thought this day couldn’t get better, but now there are tacos,” Amelie beamed.I walked over to Amelie and picked her up, and leaned into her ear.“I can’t wait for my taco on my face tonight,” I whispered.Amelie’s eyes went wide. “You’re incorrigible.”“Hey, I can be redeemed,” I stated. “I just need to worship at your feet.”&ldquo

Nathan’s POVAmelie was still sleeping when Kimmy and Morgan came to our room, then shortly after, Madison showed up because Morgan had called her. I had them all sit out in the living room area so we could discuss the plan of attack. I also texted Dr. Yvonne.“I’m not sure what to do,” I said, running my hand through my hair. “It’s really hitting her hard.”“Poor Amelie,” Madison said. “I can’t imagine the memories this is bringing up for her.”“I want to go in the room and be there just in case she wakes up,” Morgan stated. “I don’t want her to be alone.”“That might be a good idea. Maybe just one of you, though. I don’t want her to be overwhelmed,” I agreed. “I need to go and figure some stuff out for the plane tonight. Dutton said I can come to his room, so that Amelie doesn’t hear anything.”“Ok

Nathan’s POVDinner with friends was exactly what we needed. We had a lot of laughs, and it really seemed to help Amelie put things into perspective.I had someone come in and pack everything while we were at dinner. So after we finished dining, we hugged and said goodbyes, then we caught our car service to the airport hangar.It was probably best that we were flying at night. It would give us the chance to sleep on the plane. If we had endless hours to sit and think about the situation we were walking into, it would have really done a number on Amelie’s psyche.We were greeted at the hangar by Elizabeth and Captain Alonzo.“We are in luck tonight,” Captain Alonzo informed. “The flight conditions look favorable for a smooth flight.”We boarded the flight and got settled into our seats. The takeoff was smooth, and Elizabeth had come back to let us know we were free to move around the cabin. Amelie and I mov
