    Summary

    Belly is back in the United States for exactly three weeks before she contacts Conrad.

    She doesn’t mean it to happen that way.  Despite how it will later seem, she doesn’t research what the respectable amount of time before reaching out to her ex-boyfriend who confessed his love to her just nights before her wedding to his brother is, though the thought had shamefully crossed her mind, even in Paris.  She doesn’t choose a three week time period and meticulously count down the days until her three weeks are up, leaving her free to reach out with an uninhibited conscience.  She doesn’t plan it at all.  But when she does decide to reach out, it just so happens to fall on the 21st day of her return.

     

    OR: Conrad never visits Belly in Paris, and she can't say no when he invites her to visit him in California.
