Chapter 34 – Scarlett POV
june 16
I was in my secret apartment—the one hidden inside the Calloway house , to make it easy to spy on them —when my phone buzzed on the bed. I picked it up. It was dear Jason.
"Hey babe, what's up? , how are you today" I asked.
He laughed softly on the other end. "Babe i'm okay , and i have a big news."
I sat up straighter. "Did Sharon tell you something? , she is planning something ? "
"No, better," he said with a smile I could almost hear in his voice.
"Just tell me , whats this urgent news ?."
"I just booked three plane tickets to Florida. We're going to Seaside. You, me, and Julia. Surprise babe you desrve a little break before we come back to this revenge thing war !"
I blinked, shocked. "Jason, seriously? What about our plan? My revenge?"
He chuckled. "Okay, stop with it for five days only scarlett . It's not like Sharon, Liam, or even Madeleine will disappear."
I sighed. "Yeah, but I didn't plan a vacation. I have work—Best Auto and all remember that i work there ? ."
Jason teased me, "I talked with Sharon. She gave you five days off. How ironic—she's giving her enemy a vacation its so funny ."
I rolled my eyes. "What about Julia? She won't accept, she is not even talking with me like before ..."
Jason's voice softened. "Well, she's already packing her bags."
"Wait, already? When's the trip?"
"Tomorrow, babe. The plane to Florida is set. See you then."
He hung up.
I lay back on the bed, overwhelmed. I'd been trying to handle the Madeleine situation—it wasn't exactly the time for a beach trip. But maybe I needed this break.
I grabbed my phone, searched for Seaside, Florida beach. Pictures of soft white sands and turquoise waves filled the screen.
Yeah… maybe some sun and ocean breeze is exactly what I need right now.
Does this version feel right? Want me to help with the next chapter or add more atmosphere?
