- RORY -

Raya dragged me out of the house to go shopping for the trip once she found out I'm coming along. Now we're looking at clothes, and I'm having to focus enough to make purchases and engage with Raya's excited dialogue.

There's nothing like going from hiding away indoors for a month to being thrust into the frenzy of planning a vacation at the last minute. Not that Raya and I have to plan anything other than what to bring. Dex is taking care of all the arrangements. 

Once I agreed to go along, I learned that we will be taking a private plane so that the destination is kept a secret. I also discovered Luciano is going—a fact that gives me mixed feelings. 

I'm actually really excited and nervous to see Luci again, but I'm also… worried. Worried because I'm not wanting a relationship right now. At all. Especially with someone who has as complicated a life and morals as he does.
