Danielle tried to talk Summer into staying in Tartosa to showcase her culinary skills as a caterer. Summer loved the idea, but not as much as she does Travis. Danielle finally gave up and enjoyed the rest of their time together before Summer flew home. She knows how this is going to end for Summer, but Summer is determined to find out the hard way. As the days and weeks pass Summer tries unsuccessfully to win over Travis, but it's just one endless string of brush offs, one after another.
At least once a week Danielle would call to check up on her best friend. And on one call she couldn't help bringing up her own failed romance with Travis back in high school.
Danielle: Why are you still wasting your time chasing after Travis? You know what he's like. Summer: I'm not wasting my time. I love him and I know deep down he loves me too. He's just playing hard to get. Danielle: Travis? Our Travis? Playing hard to get? The man will chase after any woman with a pulse if there's something there he wants. You haven't forgotten about what happened when I dated him back in senior year did you? Summer: No. But he's different now. Danielle: He hasn't changed, other than to be a few years older. He's still Travis. Yes, he is fun to hang around with, but he's a disaster to date. He's a charmer, and he's great company, but he has three great loves in his life, and neither you nor I were or are one of them. He's obsessed with his computers, his video games, and himself. Girl if you don't come to your senses. and let it be, he's going to break your heart in a million pieces. I know you and your crushes, they rarely end well. And this time I'm not there in person to pick you up. I am a phone call away, anytime, but please stop this silly game before you get hurt. Summer: I'll think about it. Danielle: I know you better than that Summer Holiday. I guess I better keep my phone handy and plane tickets ready. https://i.imgur.com/qBmxBiS.png?1 https://i.imgur.com/BFaREnG.png
Later that week, Danielle got the phone call she'd been waiting for. No not that one, the one from the publishers. It seems they want here to come to San Myshuno to discuss the details of her brand new book deal!
She called up Summer to see if she could join her in San Myshuno to celebrate, but it was short notice so Danielle was stuck celebrating solo. That didn't stop her though.
