Winning Back His Ex's Wife's Broken Heart by Hayley

Chapter 100

Sarah's pov.

Richard and I had finally made it to Hawaii, and it was like stepping into a dream. The air was warm, salty, and fresh, with just enough breeze to carry the sound of waves crashing against the shore. Everything about the island seemed to welcome us, from the towering palms swaying gently overhead to the way the sunlight danced across the crystal-clear water.

For once, there was nothing between us-no work, no drama, no problems to pull us apart. Just the two of us, here in paradise.

I glanced over at Richard as we stepped into the resort. He had this calm look on his face, almost boyish, like he was seeing something magical for the first time.

I couldn't help but smile; seeing him like this made me feel lighter too, as if all the weight we'd been carrying just slipped away the moment we landed.

"It's beautiful, isn't it?" I asked, nudging him.

He looked around, nodding slowly as his eyes took it all in. "Yeah," he said, grinning. "But it's nothing compared to you."

I rolled my eyes, laughing, but I still felt a warm flutter in my chest. Maybe it was the ocean air, maybe it was Hawaii, or maybe it was just finally having this time alone together, but something between us felt... easy.

As soon as we dropped our bags in our suite, Richard was already pulling me out the door, insisting we "start the adventure." And so we did, strolling hand-in-hand through the resort grounds, exploring every corner. Everything felt bright and alive-people were laughing and splashing in the pool, couples were lounging together, and families were watching the sunset. The whole place buzzed with happiness.

We wandered down to the beach and kicked off our shoes, letting our feet sink into the warm sand.

I reached down, scooping up a handful and letting it slip through my fingers, the fine grains catching the light as they fell back to the ground.
