says firmly, pulling her neck pillow higher up beside her ears.
     
    “Fine.” He says. “You can be a secretary. Seems kind of boring, though.”
     
    “Just make something up. Tell them I’m shy. I don’t care.” She says, closing her eyes. “But for right now, just stop talking. I just want to make it through this flight.”

Chapter 6
     
     
      Robin’s stomach turns as she gazes out the window at the passing palm trees before shuffling over the seats of the limo to the other side of the car to sit beside Yates.
     
    “This is actually happening.” She whispers, resting her hand on her stomach. “I could throw up.”
     
    “Please don’t.” Kurtis smirks as he rests his arm against the back of the seat.
     
    “She’s not even my real mother in law, why am I so nervous to meet her?” She asks, as she lets out a deep, shaking breath.
     
    “Don’t worry, she’ll love you.” He says, straightening his polo shirt as he bends forward to look out the window, the towering hotel coming into view as they enter the lush grounds of the resort.
     
    “Oh, God…” She whispers to herself as she feels the vehicle come to a stop, watching out the window as a flood of bellboys emerge from behind the glass, hidden at first by the reflection of the setting sun.
     
    “Don’t blow it.” Kurtis says, resting his hand on her knee.
     
      She shakes her head, her eyes widening as he chuckles.
     
    “I’m just kidding.” He says, patting his hand before opening the door and getting out.
     
      He bends back over, looking into the car and watches her slide over.
     
    “It’s a vacation. Enjoy it.” He says, smirking as he grabs her hand to help her out.
     
      She nods her head, watching as he turns away from her and reaches into his pocket, pulling out his wallet. He discretely hands a few folded bills over to one of the bellboys, thanking him as the others disappear back into the lobby with their bags.
     
    “Alright.” He says, running his fingers through his dark hair, feeling the breeze against his scalp. “Let’s go.”
     
      She follows closely behind him as they walk up to the heavy glass door of the hotel lobby before stepping through the doorway as he holds it open for her.
     
    “Thank you.” She whispers, turning around to wait for him.
     
    “Of course.” He smiles, his eyes trailing away as she watches them light up as she hears a high pitched shriek coming from behind her.
     
    “My baby!” Robin hears as she turns around, barely able to watch the rush of a woman as she runs past her and wraps her arms around Kurtis’s chest.
     
    “It’s been so long!” The woman says, her voice muffled as Kurtis wraps his arms around her, holding her close.
     
      She pulls away, holding him at arm’s length as she looks up and down.
     
    “And look at how handsome you are! Ah! It’s been years!” The woman says, clapping her hands together before resting them under her chin. “You look just like your father.”
     
      Robin smiles as she adverts her gaze to her shoes, letting out a small giggle as her boss’s mother turns around.
     
    “And you…” She whispers, covering her mouth with her hands as her eyes well with tears. “You’re the wife aren’t you!”
     
      Robin looks up, smiling awkwardly as she shrugs her shoulders before nodding her head as the woman steps closer towards her, filling the gap between them before pressing her hands against Robin’s cheeks.
     
    “Oh, she’s beautiful!” The woman exclaims, turning her head back to look at a blushing Kurtis before pressing her forehead against Robin’s. “Just beautiful!”
     
      Robin wraps her arms around his mother, squeezing her closely as she rubs the palm of her hand up and down her back, her heart sinking slightly in her chest as she feels the frail woman’s skeleton through her shirt.
     
    “Oh, I’m so happy Kurt finally found someone.” The woman says, gently stroking the back of her fingers
