Capítulo 68: A Substitute

The rest of the trip passed in a blur. It was partly because Hazel was tired and partly because her head was still spinning from her sudden change in plans.

The Mayan dances were fun to watch and the statue had been interesting but her head was too full of thoughts to do much more than blankly take pictures out of habit. The rest of the day was spent going back and forth between the lazy river and the beach, downing piña coladas as they went.

Right before dinner they were on the lazy river and Hazel lay on the tube thinking hard. She was preoccupied with a particular detail about their strange relationship. Will had asked her to change her last name as soon as they got married. Had he anticipated staying together from the very beginning?

Back then he hadn't said anything about liking her yet. She was under the impression that he was only helping her out temporarily. Had he been planning to stay married to her from the moment he proposed?

Why? Why would he do that with a stranger?
