Meredith's POV
Despite Matthew's efforts to fix our broken relationship, it seems that we cannot return to what we once were. However, perhaps the changes we've undergone are for the better.
During our conversation last night, I could sense his sincerity, but I know that once we return to our separate lives, the obstacles between us will make it impossible to even remain friends. The pain he caused me is still fresh in my mind, and there is no way he can remedy that.
Despite everything, we're still on this beautiful island for a few more days, and we can pretend to be different people and escape reality. "Do you want to stay here with me?" Matthew asked excitedly, kneeling at my feet. After our conversation, I realized that I desired a complete family and that I liked him.
