JAX
I had been planning this trip all week, picking up little trinkets and playthings for us both at Bohemian Ecstasy.
It was the longest time Chloe and I would spend together so far, and I hoped to propose my idea to her during the trip when the timing was right. Just thinking about surprising her with the goodies I bought was exciting to me. Even more so because of her innocence and the fact I knew I would be the first to introduce her to such things.
Mendocino was a romantic spot, and we had a one-bedroom luxury cabin to ourselves at Smuggler’s Cove, which boasted ocean views and a deck.
I pulled up to Chloe’s apartment and rang the doorbell. The sight that greeted me when she opened the door made my heart plummet. Her eyes red-rimmed red, she had a blanket wrapped around her.
