Chapter 34

Jocelyn was panicking, seriously considering just jumping into the sea and calling it a day.

The most mortifying part? She was sure Willow had caught the whole embarrassing scene.

“Hey, that dude is smoking hot.” Ursula grabbed Jocelyn’s hand, constantly looking back, “He’s checking you out.”

Jocelyn’s heart skipped a beat, and she forced herself not to look back.

“Isn’t that Willow’s boyfriend?” Ursula pondered, “She seemed pretty cozy with him.”

Jocelyn’s mind was a mess. She shook her head. “I gotta go back.”

Jocelyn, did you and that guy…” Ursula frowned at her. “You seem off.”

Jocelyn knew she was off her game, but not because Melvin was drop-dead gorgeous or because he was cozying up to Willow. It was the thought of her humiliating moment earlier that made her wish she could turn back time and not give him a second glance.

Without explaining to Ursula, Jocelyn headed back to her room and took a shower, hoping to calm her frazzled nerves.

She slipped into a loose dress, with no plans to go out again.

The hotel had a killer view. From the balcony, Jocelyn could enjoy the sea view, with a swath of coconut trees leading

to the endless ocean

The sunset was painting half the ocean red, with the other half a deep blue. It was stunning.

Jocelyn took a photo of the view and a side-profile selfie, and posted it on Twitter with the caption: [Today, I feel like I haven’t done this beautiful day justice.]

When life gives you lemons, you must’ve ticked off some deity on your way out.

All she hoped for now was a smoother tomorrow.

Ursula nagged her to go out for dinner, but Jocelyn declined. Ursula wouldn’t have it and insisted they go together.
