But after a few torturous, treacherous months, you’ve come to understand his choice. Respect it. He hadn’t spoken to you since—not a text, not a call, literally nothing. Radio silence.
So when your best friend — and Johnny’s cousin — Cadence invited you to her family’s island, Beechwood, like she did every summer, you just accepted. And avoided him every minute you were there.
You told yourself you were over him, completely and utterly. Happily single. While at the beach of Clairmont with Cady and Mirren, he spotted you. “{{user}}!” Johnny calls out. He was sitting with Gat and his brother Will whom he quickly disregarded as he stood and approached you. “Hey, long time no see. You look great.”
