I feel like a deserve a vacation after catching my girlfriend of five years cheating on me. Especially since we had both decided to save ourselves until marriage. So much for that. Now I’m just a sad, twenty-seven–year–old virgin.
St. Lucia might be the place for me to reset, with its beautiful views and friendly locals—very friendly, actually. Trisha is like a dream come true when she emerges from the woods and it’s just the two of us, a bottle of rum and a picturesque view of the Caribbean. And then there’s Jeremy, a strong, straightforward man who approaches me at an outdoor restaurant on the beach. The need I feel for Trisha makes sense to me, even though I know I should refuse my impulses. But what I feel for Jeremy, well, that’s completely wrong. But is it so bad to indulge a bit while I’m on vacation?
There has to be a first time for everything, I guess.
