Some things are hard to do alone. Putting together large flatpack furniture,
for one, or surviving high school. Ordering dinner alone in a restaurant is
another one. But my best friend glares at me through my phone screen,
unable to comprehend that simple fact.
“Just sit down,” she says. “Order and eat. Who cares what anyone else
might think?”
I lie down on my hotel bed. “I do.”
“No, you don’t. They don’t matter.”
“True, and it’s not like I came to Barbados to hide in my hotel room.”
“Definitely not. You went to have the best two weeks of your life,”
Becky says. She’s sitting on her familiar paisley couch, with a pregnancy
pillow beside her. My future goddaughter is the only reason she couldn’t be
here with me. “You’re going to get back at—no, scratch that. I won’t say his
name, and you’re not even allowed to think it.”
I salute her. “Yes, ma’am.”
“No, you’re going to eat dinner at that luscious-looking hotel restaurant,
you’re going to enjoy the warm weather, and afterward, you can reward
yourself by watching old reruns in your room.”
“Pregnancy has made you bossy,” I say.
Her husband’s voice comes through the phone, unseen but close by.
“You said it, not me!” he yells.
Becky hushes him. “I’m talking to Eden.”
“Hi, Patrick,” I say.
“Hey, Eden,” he calls back. “Enjoy some sunshine for me!”
“Will do!” I meet Becky’s gaze. “But you’re right, you know, bossy or
not. So what if I’m the only person there eating alone?”
“Doesn’t matter at all,” she agrees. “It’s not like you’ll see a single
person there again after you come home.”
“Exactly.” I sit up and look over at my suitcase, half-opened on the
carpeted floor. It’s spilling colorful sundresses like a store on Black Friday.
“I’ll wear my red dress.”
“That’s right,” she says. “And Eden? I want a picture of you with a
colorful, tropical drink as proof.”
I roll my eyes. “Fine.”
“Good,” she says and smiles at me through the screen. “I wish I was
there with you.”
“Me, too,” I say. “Thanks.”
“Anytime. Now go have fun and come back with a tan for me to be
jealous of.”
We hang up and I’m alone in my empty, quiet hotel room. My windows
don’t give me a view of the ocean. That had been too expensive. Instead,
they offer a view of the beautifully manicured garden of the Winter Resort.
The newly opened luxury hotel is everything Caleb and I had hoped for
when we booked it for our honeymoon.
And I’m going to make sure I enjoy it all. Even if I have to provide
picture proof for Becky as I do it.
