She’d been the one to toss them there, after all. While she and Irene were touring the house, she’d seen them and just flung them away.

She hadn’t thought about anything at the time. It was just a sudden burst of anger-her territory, her space, no one else got to leave their mark.

Why should Sherry get to hang her things where Julia was about to live?

She’d shoved them behind the sofa, out of sight. She never expected Lucas to find them. If he hadn’t, Sherry would never have known where her things ended up.

So he packed them for her.

But Julia saw something else entirely. She saw a relationship already this intimate.

In Julia’s mind, Sherry was one of those emotionally dense women who only recognized a man’s worth after someone else had him. Then she’d regret it.

By the time Sherry divorced Gilbert, she and Lucas wouldn’t have a shot, either.

Perfect. Lose-lose.

And yet here was Sherry, shamelessly flaunting herself in front of Lucas! She even made him tidy up her underwear!

And the two of them packed like no one else existed, then walked off, treating Julia like thin air from start to finish.

And she couldn’t even complain. Irene and Victor cared about Harrison Group more than anything.

But they thought they could ditch her and bond? Not a chance.

It was a last-minute decision, so nowhere too far-just a resort near Seaseat City.

So close to the ocean, and Sherry had never actually played at the beach.

Back in the day, Claire always said it was too expensive. Then she’d take Teresa and the whole gang-everyone except Sherry.

She said she was afraid Sherry might have a “mental episode” at the beach and embarrass the family, supposedly.

She even said she was scared Sherry would steal something while they were gone. So she just dumped her in a psych ward instead.

Sure, she had some psychological issues. But she wasn’t a thief.

She found out later, after two months inside-they just wanted a vacation without her, and were afraid people would gossip.

Then they “forgot” about her. That’s why they picked her up so late.

Now, seeing the sea again…

“What are you thinking about?” Lucas held out sparklers, lighting one and passing it to her.

“What I was thinking about… is already in my hands.” Sherry laughed, twirling the sparkler.

Gilbert had once promised to take her to the beach, but when the time came, he didn’t pick her up. Instead, he took Wendy.

He even snapped photos of the two of them playing at the beach with sparklers.

And he sent them from his phone.

“Sorry, Sherry, you’re in a bad mood today, so Gilbert took me to set off fireworks. To make it up to you, he asked me to take some pictures for you-just think of it like you came too.”

God knows how she’d swallowed that back then.

If she heard that now? She’d have taken a cab straight to their faces and slapped them.

Sparklers were nothing special. For an adult, it was not that fun. But that feeling-of having an old wound gently healed-that meant everything.

The next day, she followed the company group, ready to head onto the island.

Lucas patted the seat beside him, gesturing for Sherry. Someone beat her to it.

She practically rocketed into the spot beside Lucas, Another inch and she’d have landed in his lap.

Julia blinked innocently. “I didn’t want your grandma to be upset, so I paid my own way. Surprise!”

She made it look like their relationship was super tight.
