FALL 2014; ATHENS, GREECE

C aroline, this is completely unacceptable! her father shouted at her through the receiver as she pulled the phone slightly away from her ear.

Daddy, I’m—

You can’t go gallivanting overseas and leave your responsibilities behind, Caroline, he continued. You missed the Bar exam! And you lost your job! Do you know how many strings I had to pull to even get you that job in the first place?

I never wanted to work there in the first place, and I told you that many times, Caroline’s rebuttal landed flat as guilt overtook her.

He had a point. She had just up and left her life in New York, traveling to Greece with Logan Clay last month. While she didn’t regret that at all, she did understand her father’s point that the way she left her job as a paralegal at a very prestigious New York City law firm had not been very professional, nor even a little mature. She hadn’t even told her boss that she quit, she just hadn’t shown up again.

Caroline fiddled with the knot on her wrap skirt that was so light, you could still see underneath to the dark red bikini she was wearing. She hadn’t even had time to pack a bag before they had left for Greece, having to buy all new clothes once she arrived. There was no way she could have passed up joining Logan on his trip, especially after the torturous six months they’d spent split up when he was on tour singing and performing all over the world.

I’m not becoming a lawyer, Daddy. I’ve been working on my art and sketching while I’ve been out here. I want to pursue that, become an illustrator or maybe do graphic design. I thought you were coming around and going to accept that, Caroline laid her head back on the lounge chair she was stretched out on. You said you wanted whatever makes me happy.

Despite the arduous conversation she was having, there was no way not to enjoy the view from the balcony of their villa atop one of the southern hills of Athens overlooking the beaches on the coast. The sun was warming her skin, which had picked up a gentle tan from the last month out here, even her hair had lightened just slightly.

It’s not that I don’t want you to be happy, but this is just a tough one for me to swallow, Caroline. Drawing is not a job. It won’t pay your bills and I certainly can’t keep paying your bills forever either.

I’m not asking you to! I can take care of myself. At least she wanted to.

He had never given her a chance to try, always paying her way through school and then buying her condo. She had never had to take care of herself financially, despite bringing in a decent paycheck at her old job.

Caroline had always enjoyed a luxurious life, thanks to her family’s opulence, but traveling with Logan had introduced her to a level of luxury incomparable to anything she had ever experienced. He wanted for nothing and took life one day at a time, doing whatever he wanted, whenever he wanted to.

Caroline, come back to New York and get back to real life. Your mother and I have not even met this Logan character, and the thought of our only daughter traveling the world with a stranger isn’t exactly what we dreamed for you. We did not raise a daughter so irresponsible that she would just up and leave the country without telling anyone, leaving her job in the lurch like that.

Guilt threatened to rear its head again, and Caroline bit her lip.

I’m not upset that you want to change careers. Sure, I’m not pleased, but that’s not what bothers me. It’s that you’re behaving like someone I did not raise, someone I don’t even recognize. He paused, but not for too long. It all seems to revolve around this Logan character entering your life.

In the background, her mother chided her father, telling him to ease up on her.

Her mother had always been more supportive of her independence. And, once Caroline had confessed to her love for Logan, her mother had been supportive of that as well. In fact, Elizabeth Sanders had been the main champion of Caroline’s pursuit of a relationship with Logan, encouraging her to go for it rather than staying with dependable and safe Turner Schwartz, whom she had dated during her separation from Logan.

Despite his misgivings about Logan, she knew that her father was right about her irresponsibility surrounding her trip to Greece. She should have given notice at her job, and she did feel guilty about that. But there was a desperation in that moment to reconnect with Logan, with her soul mate, to travel with him and find who they were as a couple again after so long apart.

If she had to do it over again, she knew she would still go to Greece with him all over again.

Dad, Logan has nothing to do with this. That wasn’t, strictly speaking, true. But trying to explain the complexities of her situation were better left for another time. "I’m doing this. I’ve been trying to do this for a while. I need to figure it out for myself."

Her father groaned. God, Caroline. You are infuriating sometimes.

We’ll be back soon. It’s almost the holidays. You and Mom can both meet Logan then. You’ll get to know him and see he really is a wonderful man. Caroline cringed at her attempted peacemaking.

Her father cleared his throat. It might be better if you spend the holidays somewhere else this year, Caroline. His voice was cold and harsh.

Dad, please… A lump formed in her throat, making it hard to talk.

She’d known her father would be angry with her, but they had always spent the holidays together. Christmas was her favorite time of year. She had always been Daddy’s little girl growing up, singing Christmas carols and listening to stories about Santa Claus on her father’s knee.

Caroline? A higher, feminine voice rang through the phone after some rustling sounds.

Mom, did you hear— Tears slipped onto her lower lashes.

I did. Let me just talk to him, baby. Give me a few days to get him to calm down. I want to see you, sweetheart. You’re always welcome here, her mother soothed.

Caroline sniffed. Okay.

Let me just talk to him and see how it goes, okay? We’ll talk soon, baby?

Caroline swallowed hard. Yes, Mom. I love you.

Love you, too. The line went quiet, and Caroline dropped the cell phone onto the chair next to her, letting out a small sob, which she quickly covered with her hands over her face.

Beautiful, why are you crying? Logan walked out onto the balcony and immediately leaned down over the lounge chair to kiss her forehead.

She just shook her head, not able to say anything since the lump in her throat seemed to only be swelling into her chest, threatening to give birth to an entire fountain of tears.

Logan reached both arms down, taking her hands in his, and pulling her up to a standing position. It’s all right. Come here.

He wrapped his arms around her, hugging her tightly against his chest.

Sighing, she laid her head on him, closing her eyes as she tried to focus on regaining her composure. Something about the strength of his arms squeezing her against his rock-hard body was unbelievably calming, and little by little, her entire body relaxed.

Logan began to kiss her neck softly, nipping the skin exposed from her hair being tossed over her shoulder. He looked even more irresistible in Greece than he had in New York, since he was now sporting a darker tan, seeming like he had lived there his whole life with his dark features and strong bone structure.

They had been in Greece for only a month, but it already felt like a lifetime. An entire life created and fostered on the hills of Athens overlooking the beautiful green and blue waters. Waking every morning curled up against each other, with nothing to do but spend the day enjoying Greece and each other.

Their villa was so exclusive that it prevented any paparazzi from vying for Logan’s attention, leaving the two of them in the breathtaking silence of being so high above the city. The balcony with the stone railing boasted a view from one of the highest hills in Athens, with a shockingly high drop down beneath them. They could see straight over the southern edges to the Mediterranean Sea, with its pure blue water always
