as I sat on the beautiful beach, and watched the sun set over the
water.
    Jake had crossed my mind several times during my trip. I was
still hurt by what he did, but I think the distance helped me see things more
clearly. I realized things never would have worked out between us anyways. We
were too different, and he never promised me anything more than sex. It was
just my imagination running away with me thinking there could be anything else.
    Jake had always been cold and selfish, I just thought he was
different because I wanted to believe it. His actions at the auction weren’t an
aberration of his character. The real aberrations were the rare moments of
thoughtfulness he showed towards me. With this new perspective, I was able to
take the first steps towards healing.
    I sat at the Suvarnabhumi International Airport, the next
day, frowning as I stared out the windows. It was raining outside; the sky was
overcast and gray, reflecting my mood. I had spent two blissful weeks in this
paradise.
    The thought of what awaited me back home caused an
involuntary shudder. I was momentarily tempted to rip up my return flight
ticket and stay in Thailand forever, but I knew that was impossible. I hated to
leave, but knew I had to go back. I knew I had to go home and face whatever it
was that awaited me.
    Before I came to Thailand, I told Allison I wouldn’t be
turning on my cell phone or laptop for the whole duration of my trip. I really
wanted to unplug from the hustle and bustle of modern life. Besides, I didn’t
want to be tempted to read stories of myself or of Jake. If there were any
emergencies, she could always call the hotel and ask for me. I took it as a
good sign that no one had tried to reach me since I first arrived.
    Now that I was headed back home, I decided to turn on my
computer and check my emails. I swallowed the feeling of dread as I stared at
an inbox full of unread messages. Scanning over the emails, I spotted two
messages from Jake.
    I was so shocked, I sat there frozen, my hand poised over
the touch pad, not sure what to do. One part of me was screaming to open it and
find out what he said, but the other part of me told me to delete it. It didn’t
matter what he said, it wouldn’t change anything, so there was no use torturing
myself over it.
    I sat there, mentally debating with myself the merits of
both choices for what felt like hours. Finally, I gave in to my curiosity. It
wouldn’t hurt, just this once, I rationalized. I promised myself I wouldn’t
respond to anything he had to say. Taking a steadying breath, I opened his
message.
    Chloe,
    You haven’t been returning my calls. I know you’re upset
with me. Please call me back or reply to me. I need to talk to you.
    -JP
    I frowned down at the screen, not sure what to make of his
message. Why would he be calling me? What could he possibly need to talk to me
about? I opened the next message from him hoping it would shed some more light
on the situation.
    Chloe,
    Please talk to me.
    -JP
    That message was even more cryptic than the one before. My
mind was racing with possibilities. I was just about to hit reply when I
remembered my pledge. I would not contact him , I reminded myself.
Nothing good could come of it. I quickly signed out of my account and shut off
the laptop so I wouldn’t be tempted to relent. Jake wanted me to contact
him? Well too bad. That ship has sailed , I thought spitefully. I tucked my
laptop back into my bag and promptly tried to ignore it.
    Allison was waiting for me when I landed at the airport. It
was nice to see a friendly familiar face after two weeks away. I smiled at her
as I saw her standing there with her “boss” sign held up.
    “So how was it?” she asked once I had reached her.
    “Paradise,” I sighed.
    Allison grabbed one of my suitcases and started rolling it
towards the escalators.
    “You can tell me all about it in the car,” she said over her
shoulder.
    I followed Allison out of the airport towards the
