Jordan was on the phone when the young man came lug their suitcases to the front desk .Steph gave their name to the clerk.

“What do you mean, there’s no reservation? Jordan Knight reserved this room weeks ago!” Steph exclaimed.

“I’m sorry, Miss. There is no reservation under your name or Mr. Knight’s name, and we have no available rooms.”

“I see.” Steph turned away from the desk, tears filling her eyes. Some vacation this was turning out to be!

“Can I help you, young lady?” A voice said behind her. Steph whirled around.

“Donnie!” She threw herself into his arms.

“Let me guess. There isn’t a room reserved for you, and the whole place is booked solid.” He motioned to the bellhop and Jordan 

“This is all your doing, isn’t it?” She realized as they walked out.

“I couldn’t let you guys stay here.” He led the way to his car.

“But Jordan said this is the best hotel in Boston!”

“It is. But I know somewhere better.” He opened the door for her.

“Donnie? Jordan, I’m not getting in this car until I know what’s going on!”

“We’re going back to the airport, getting on a plane, and after that…you’ll just have to trust me. And don’t worry about the twins. Jon knows all about this, and he has the number where we’re going.” He got in on the driver’s side. “Just relax and start to enjoy your vacation, okay? “Jordan got into the back seat 

“Okay,” she sighed, trying to relax. “I’m sorry. I’ve never been kidnapped before.”

They parked Donnie’s car at the airport, and she and Jordan boarded the record company’s private jet.

“Wow! This is really nice!” Steph looked around the plane.

“Would you like something to eat or drink?”

“No. My stomach is a bundle of nerves right now. Did you know about this??”

He nodded and explained that he wanted to surprise her .He knew they needed a getaway after the whirlwind move and knew she would love where they were going 

“You have to wear a blindfold until we get there,” he told her.

“What? Jordan, this is ridiculous! I feel like an idiot!” She exclaimed as he tied a scarf over her eyes.

“Just be quiet and do it anyway, okay?” He carefully guided her off the plane, across the landing area, and into a parked car. “Trust me,” he told her again. The drive was short, but it seemed like an eternity to her. He finally turned onto a bumpy road.

“I get it. You’re taking me out into the woods to rape me,” she joked.

“Only if you really want me to.” He saw her blush under the blindfold, and laughed.

He finally stopped the car. When he helped her out, she smelled salt air, and heard waves crashing. “The beach!” She said happily.

“Not just any beach,” he said dramatically, pulling off the blindfold.

She gasped. “Oh, Jordan …” she was speechless. They stood in front of the beach house where they had all stayed nine years before.

“I thought you would enjoy this more than a hotel in downtown Boston.”
She hugged him. “This is wonderful, babe. Thank you so much. Your gonna settle in and relax too aren’t you? I know this has all been crazy for you too 
“If you want me to.” He kissed her cheek and handed her the key. “Go on inside sweetheart. I’ll get our bags.”
