"Did you sleep with her?"
"Don't bring that up."
"Where you with her the night I left?"
"I wasn't with her."
"Are you here for us or you?"
"Brooklyn!"
"Look at me and tell me the truth."
"I love you. That's all I can say to you. I thought all the other stuff was talked out."
"I trust you. But I can't trust her."
"I love you. I never loved her."
"That's a lie."
"I never loved her like how I love you Brooklyn. I see my future with you. I see tomorrow with you. You wake up next to me. She doesn't, she never did. She broke me in more ways than one."
"Then what...what are we?"
"A couple. I want you in my life Brooklyn."

Brisbane Airport, Brisbane Australia

Chris pushed his hat up when Sebastian came around with his bag, "You seriously always lose a bag."
Harlow rolled her eyes as she walked up to them, "No, he lost my bag."
Chris grinned back at Sebastian, "We have been flying for over 18 hours. I kinda wanna punch you right now."
Harlow nodded her head, "I want to too."
Sebastian looked at both of them, "We have another 3 hour car ride out to the Hemsworth Ranch."
Harlow checked her phone, "Elsa left us a jeep here in the car lot. She said the GPS will take us right to their house."
"Is that where Brooklyn is at?" Chris asked fixing his bag on his back.
"She will be there. Lord, I will get you over to her." Harlow pulled her hair up heading out to the car lot. "I promise you, I will get you to her."
Chris grinned back at her as they walked over to the four door Jeep. "So Harlow, how much can I get out of you about this place?"
"You mean Byron Bay?" Harlow reached under the back tire getting the key. "Like where the houses are?"
"Yea, you didn't really say much about any of it." Chris tossed his bag into the back.
Sebastian flipped his hat around, "You don't know about this place?"
"Do you?" Chris shot back.
"Ok no, I don't." Sebastian got into the front seat while Harlow climbed into the driver's seat.
"Hemsworth's family is from the area. Like 8 years ago he went off and got a bunch of land and built the house that they are currently at. There is also like 4 smaller houses around the property that family uses all over the year."
Chris looked back at Harlow as she backed out of the parking spot.
"Hemsworth and Elsa meet through friends in LA. But of course Elsa is from Spain and Brooklyn is only half Spanish because of her mother." Harlow hit the home button on the GPS to take them to the compound. "Brooklyn of course is Swedish where her mother meet her father. But of course a year later, her parents were killed in a car crash, leaving Brooklyn with Elsa and her mother's family that honestly hated Brooklyn. They lived in Madrid up until Brooklyn was like 10."
"So how did you two actually meet, I mean aren't you from Montana?" Chris asked her.
"Brooklyn's mother moved Brooklyn to a boarding school in lower Montana where I was learning horseback riding. She was going to school and I was learning how to ride a horse. But we ended up doing a lot more together since she was so close and we got a lot closer as friends."
Sebastian glanced back at Chris, "Are you as hungry as I am?"
"I will stop and get food." Harlow barked back at him.
"I love you." Sebastian rubbed her leg making Chris shift in his seat.
"But when she graduated from the school, she wanted to do something different. She wanted to leave the area. She grabbed her bags and we were off to LA. I was not about to have her have this amazing life without me."
"Her parents were killed, do you know anything else about it?"
"Brooklyn remains silent about it. She doesn't want to really talk about a thing that breaks her heart all over again. I mean that's why when Hemsworth came into the picture, Elsa got closer to Brooklyn. Bringing them back together."
Chris just looked back at her, "Part of me doesn't believe that."
"Believe what you want but that is much of it." Harlow slowed down for a red light.
Sebastian turned around to him, "What are you gonna say to her?"
"I don't know yet. I just wanna see her. It's been like 3 weeks." Chris placed his head back against the seat. "I just want this week to be perfect. I want her to come home with me."
Harlow glanced up at the rear view mirror to look at him.
She looked back at the road as the sun was just starting to come up over the horizon.
