captivated.
    “That you are, bella,” he said in English, winking at me. I laughed and walked back to my family, smiling uncontrollably. Never in my life had I experienced something like this before, this flash of heat and connection. No guy back home had made me feel this way.
    Mom, Alessandro and Madi were waiting for me at the gate. The plane was ready for us to board. I murmured to Madi, “Did you see that guy that just went into the restroom?” I asked.
    “I saw someone pass by, but I didn’t pay attention, what about him?” Madi replied.
    I shook my head. “Nah, never mind” I whispered, not sure how to explain something I didn’t even understand myself.
    When the plane took off, I nodded off to sleep, dreaming of sun-kissed boys and sunny beaches.
    “Skylar!” Madi’s voice brought me back.
    “We’re here, Sky! We’ve landed,” I heard my mom say before Madi could finish her sentence. My heart started to beat faster, and my groggy frown turned into a big smile. The flight attendant was standing by the airplane door, waiting for us to disembark.
    “Where exactly are we, Mom?”
    She smiled and walked to the front of the plane, stepped outside, and said, “ Isola del Giglio, here we come! ”
    Madi and Alessandro were right behind us. “We still need to take the ferry in order to get to our destination,” Alessandro said.
    A chauffer was waiting for us, ready to take us to the ferry. We loaded our bags, hopped in, and drove off. We all were ready to get to our summer home villa.
    As we boarded the ferry, I caught my first glimpse of the sparkling water, and my heart leaped with anticipation. I wanted to jump out of the ferry and into the water that very second. The isle looked like paradise. Everything was so beautiful. I handed my phone to my mother and asked her to take a photo of Madi and me.
    We were trying to get a second picture, and I looked around for the perfect spot. As I turned my head, I saw him. The handsome guy I had bumped into at the airport was watching me. His intense gaze held me captive once again.
    I could not look away from his stare. We stood looking at each other for a couple of seconds that felt like hours. He gave me a flirty, suggestive look, but his stare was so intense that I wasn’t sure if I’d be able to look away from him.
    Then I heard Madi yelling at me. “Earth to Sky! Earth to Sky! Is she there?”
    “Madison, what?” I yelled back.
    “You were ignoring me.”
    I rolled my eyes and looked back at the handsome stranger, but he was gone. I looked around but he was nowhere to be found. I couldn’t believe I’d seen him again—and best of all, on the ferry! He was obviously going to the island, too.
    Please, God, make our stay on the island the perfect opportunity to meet him, I prayed silently.
    When we docked, I was stamping my feet in my eagerness to get off. Then I realized my mother and Alessandro were lagging behind. Alessandro was helping my mother walk, as if she was feeling ill. Her skin was very pale.
    “Mom, what’s wrong?” I asked.
    “I just feel tired. It’s been a long trip, you know, I don’t have your energy. Don’t worry. I just need to rest up a bit and everything will be okay, princess,” my mother replied with a gentle smile.
    We finally arrived at our destination. The scenery was spread out in front of us like a tapestry.
    “Did you know we were coming here?” I turned to look at Madi, who was gazing at the scenery in awe.
    “I knew we were coming here, but I had no idea it was this beautiful …” She turned to look at me and we smiled at each other.
    We finally arrived at our summer home, Villa Condeza. Madison and I excitedly ran upstairs into our room to unpack and check everything out. I convinced Alessandro to allow Madi and me to go down to the beach while my mother rested. We changed as quickly as we could. We grabbed our beach bags, and sun hats and ran off to Canelle beach. We spent the rest of the day tanning and
