Chapter 69

• The following morning, Roxy awakens early, her anticipation for seeing Andrew palpable. Reflecting on his straightforward explanation, she recognizes her tendency for hot-headedness and acknowledges the importance of maintaining composure in such situations.
• Roxy packs a bag for the weekend, including three bathing suits, with a desire to captivate him. A playful giggle escapes her at her attempt to charm him in a youthful manner. He evokes a sense of giddiness, happiness, and a willingness to explore new horizons within her. This man embodies the dichotomy of being her euphoric sanctuary and her inevitable downfall.
• After finishing packing, her phone pings, and warmth floods through her as she sees Andrew's name on the screen. Clutching the phone to her chest, she reads his message with a mix of emotions.
