December 2021 

December was a time Karlee and Arthur chose to escape to somewhere tropical before meeting up with the Leclerc and the Saints in French Alps. It had become somewhat of a tradition to enjoy a tropical holiday and this year was no different. Their destination: the sun-kissed shores of Cancun. Benji, in tow, Karlee and Arthur set out on their adventure, the excitement ever present in the air as they boarded the plane towards their destination.

Since they both had broken up with the exes there had been a strange tension and Karlee hopped that this vacation would help them. Maybe it was because she chose to keep her feelings a secret, maybe she could understand why Callum had pointed it out that she was definitely not "all in", in their relationship as she had thought. She thought back to the night of her break up, it was at a party in Monaco when she was busy laughing with Callum and his friends until Arthur walked in and without the usual blonde on his arms. September had changed so much for her, but it wasn't until October, until their shared birthday that she realized how much in love with Arthur she really was.

Now they both sat here, side by side on the plane taking them to Cancun with Benji sleeping a few feet away from them on the private jet and she could help but think about how much she loved him. How was she to keep this from him? But she needed to do so, there was already too much going on in her life, between her sister returning to Monaco and the scandal surrounding her.

"What are you thinking?" Arthur asked.

"About Mar, I feel bad for leaving her alone."

"It's okay, she said she didn't want to come. She needs to be home; she will be fine." Arthur rubbed her arm.

She knew he was right, what would she have done without him? Karlee turned towards him a smile on her face, "merci."

"Pour quoi?"

"For always knowing what to say."

Arthur shook his head and looked back down into the book he had been reading. While Karlee leaned her head on his shoulder letting sleep take over her.

Upon their arrival in Cancun, they were greeted by the warm sun that hung high in the sky, casting golden rays them. The air was filled with the tangy scent of salt and sea, infusing every breath she took and the distant sound of crashing waves, exciting her.

"Finally," Arthur said.

"I know, right? I've been dreaming of this vacation for months!" Karlee cheered. She kept a firm hold on Benji's leash as they made their way to the car that was waiting for them.

After a smooth check-in at their beachfront resort, Karlee and Arthur wasted no time in throwing on their swimsuits and heading straight for the beach. Benji on a more comfortable leash and his favourite whale toy with him.
