MY HAPPY PLACE

Chapter 3- face to face?

As Trisha and Cassey arrived at the village, they were immediately struck by its beauty and serenity. Nestled in the rolling hills and surrounded by towering trees, the village was a peaceful and idyllic setting.

The hotel, which was owned and run by Trisha's grandparents, was a cozy and rustic building with a charming old-fashioned facade. The rooms were spacious and comfortable, with large windows that offered breathtaking views of the surrounding landscape.

Outside, the hotel was surrounded by acres of beautifully tended gardens, filled with colorful flowers and fragrant herbs. Guests could enjoy a cup of tea on the terrace, or take a leisurely walk around the estate, admiring the rolling hills and the distant snow-capped mountains.

After a long and tiring journey, Cassey was eager to get to her room and rest. She collapsed onto the bed, exhausted from her hectic schedule as an actor, and was soon fast asleep.

But hours later, she was woken up by the sound of loud music and people laughing. She groggily reached for her pillow, trying to block out the noise, but it was no use. She was already awake, and the party downstairs showed no signs of slowing down.

Frustrated, Cassey got up and made her way to the lobby, where she found Trisha and her friends enjoying a campfire and some music. Despite her initial annoyance, she couldn't help but be drawn in by the lively atmosphere and the warm camaraderie of her friends.

As the night wore on, Cassey found herself relaxing and enjoying the simple pleasures of being in a beautiful and peaceful place, the best way to escape the stress and chaos of her life was to simply let go and enjoy the moment.

As she stepped outside, she was greeted by the warm glow of the campfire and the cheerful crowd.

To Cassey's surprise, she discovered that all the people who had come on the trip were from her old school. they were about 12-13 people. Trisha walked up to her and explained that she had planned a surprise school reunion for her, hoping to remind her of all the wonderful memories they had shared.

At first, Cassey was thrilled to see her old friends again, and she reminisced about all the silly things and fun stories from their school days. But as she looked around, she couldn't help but notice a strange tension in the air. Some of the people seemed to be hiding something, and she couldn't shake the feeling that something was off.

She turned to Trisha and asked, "Is he here? Dylan?" Trisha hesitated, then smiled awkwardly and said, "Of course not, how could I invite someone who hurt you that badly? Definitely not." But as she spoke, she gave a subtle signal to a group of boys nearby, Cassey noticed that the boys standing nearby seemed to be hiding something or someone. Their faces were tense, and they were glancing around nervously. Cassey couldn't shake the feeling that Dylan was there, despite Trisha's assurances.

Despite her initial hesitation, Cassey tried to push her concerns aside and focus on enjoying the reunion. She reassured herself that she was only there to have fun and that there was no pressure to face any difficult situations. She joined in the dancing and laughter around the campfire, and for a moment, she felt truly happy and carefree.

But as she danced and laughed with her friends, she couldn't shake the feeling that something was off. She noticed that the boys who had been acting nervously earlier were now trying even harder to act casual and relaxed. What were they trying to hide from her?

Just as she was about to ask them about it, a tall figure emerged from the darkness, carrying a pile of wood for the fire. Cassey's heart dropped as she recognized Dylan, the last person she wanted to see in her life.

She froze, unsure of what to do or say. She had thought she was prepared to face him, but now that the moment was here, she felt completely overwhelmed. How was she supposed to react, and what would happen when they finally came face to face?
