Evie's POV:
" you know what? "uma starts talking as we watch mal jump and celebrate with the kids from the isle.

" mal came through.", she finishes as we watch my best friend have the time of her life.

" she always does.", i say with a proud smile. i knew she would stand up for the VKs. out of nowhere, harry shimmies his way in between me and uma.

" so she's definitely taken? ", he asks as he points at mal with his hook.

" definitely.", i replied. i turn around to look at him and see he's already looking at me. i noticed how close we were to each other, close enough to the point where i could feel his breath on my face. he must've noticed too because he turned his face away from me in a fast motion.

" sorry 'bout that..", he apologized while scratching the back of his neck, ears noticeably red as he stole a glance at me. my face probably matching his ears as i thought about the short, but sweet, moment. uma cleared her throat letting us know she was still here.

" we'll, i don't know about you two, but i'm gonna go dance." she walked away after she said that, leaving me and harry standing there with confused faces. all of a sudden, harry turns to me.

" what 'bout you evie, where's your wee boyfriend? "he asks as his eyes hold curiosity, not knowing that he hit a sensitive topic. a topic that happened no less then a day or so ago. i look down, remembering what happened with doug. well, more like what didn't happen.

" oh we uh, we broke up not too long ago.." i say, finally looking up at harry. his face holding a look of surprise mixed with a bit of pity it seemed.

" what happened? i-if you don't mind me askin' ", he stuttered a bit, his accent visible in his words.

" no, it's okay! you're curious, i get it." i replied, a sad smile coming across my features as i get ready to tell harry what happened back at my cabin...

*flashback

i look down at doug's sleeping figure, getting ready to wake him up from this cursed sleep he was put in with a " true love's kiss". this was the moment, i would finally know if we truly did love each other. i got closer to doug's face until our lips met, i stayed there for a couple seconds more before i pulled back hoping his eyes would be staring into mine. but they never did...

*end of flashback

" so when the curse was lifted, i told him what happened. he was sad, to say the least. but we came to a mutual agreement that we both deserved true love, if it even exists." i laughed awkwardly, not wanting to talk about this more then i needed to. at this point, i wasn't looking at a harry anymore. my eyes were focused on my shoes and the ground beneath them. that was, until i felt hands on my shoulders and a shadow towering over me. i look up to see harry's blue eyes starting back into my brown ones with a look i couldn't quite read.

" i'm really sorry for bringin' that up, especially so soon after it happened. but i have a feeling that what happened, definitely happened for a reason. so don't give up on looking for your " true love" or whatever." he looked to the side awkwardly as murmured the last part of his sentence. me, being in complete shock that harry, THE harry hook, could be this...considerate, didn't get the chance to see the light blush across his face as he did this. finally rapping my head around what he said, i smirked.

" wow hook, didn't take you as the type to say such sappy stuff like that.", i say as i cross my arms over my chest, still looking at harry with a teasing look on my face.

" ay, it was good advice ok?!" he defends himself as he points his father's hook at me. i just smile at this and try not to laugh at how embarrassed he looks. it was cute.

' wait huh-'

before i got to finish my thought, i heard a voice call out my name. it was mal, she was standing next to a couple of people who seemed to be chatting amongst themselves.

" evie! come tell them about the dresses! " she gestures to the people beside her, i then nod at her as if saying 'i'll be right there!'. then, i turn to harry once more .

" well, duty calls. " i shrugged as the boy in front of me almost looked disappointed that i needed to leave. suddenly, he grabs my hand and kisses it gently as a goodbye.

" i guess i'll see you around, princess. " he smirks at me before walking away to god knows where, leaving me there alone, flustered by the name he had called me. i quickly recollected myself and went to where mal and the people who were interested in my dresses were, still thinking of harry's and mine interaction.

         'hook, you sure are something aren't you?'
