The next morning, Amber woke up to the sound of her alarm. She groaned loudly. She wasn't ready to get up. She used the pillow to cover her ears, but it wasn't working, so she got up instead and stopped the noise.
Ethan was still asleep, and she didn't want to bother him, so she let him have his nice sleep. She went to do her business in the bathroom and came out a few minutes later. Her phone made a sound, signaling that there was a message.
She went ahead to check, only to see a message from Emily informing her to put on a bikini. They needed to swim. Amber rolled her eyes but loved the idea, since today was going to be sunny.
The group decided to spend the afternoon lounging by the pool, enjoying the sun and the scenery. They settled into their sunbeds, and Nicholas sat down beside Amber, handing her a refreshing cocktail.
"To new beginnings," he said, clinking his glass against hers.
