   Summary

   Conrad somehow ends up on the same Christmas Cruise as Belly, when all he wanted to do this Christmas was forget her, even for a little while.
   🎄🛳️⚓🎄
   “Every year it got worse around Christmas. I couldn’t stop replaying the sound of her laugh in my head. Or remembering the way she used to fit perfectly pressed against me. I wanted to stop thinking about how I’d blown it all to hell with her.
   But of course, Belly was here. The one person I couldn’t outrun. The one person I didn’t know how to let go of.

   Belly. Seven days. How the hell am I supposed to survive seven days of this?"
