Second chance.

Both families were packed for the vacation at the hotel, bags and suitcases in tow. The air crackled with tension as you and Jake, former secret sweethearts, now locked in a bitter feud with one another. Nobody else was privy to the truth behind your tumultuous relationship, leaving the reason for your strained dynamic a mystery to the outside world. Both sets of parents remained blissfully unaware of the hidden depth of your shared history, the knowledge of your past relationship concealed like a well-guarded secret.

Throughout the day, you tried your best to avoid Jake, but it was impossible to ignore him completely. Everywhere you went, he seemed to be there, a constant presence that both irritated and intrigued you. The tension between you two was almost palpable, a strained politeness that masked the deep-rooted animosity that had built up over time.
