Vacationing with your exes was never part of the plan. Neither was meeting three strangers who might change everything. Now you’re stuck between old memories, new possibilities, and a trip no one will forget.

The sound of clothes being thrown onto the floor filled the room.
A suitcase sat open on the bed, already struggling to close from the amount of stuff packed inside.
"Tell me why I knew this was gonna happen." Imani stood in the doorway, arms crossed, taking in the disaster zone. "You had two weeks to pack, and somehow you're doing this the night before."
Princess didn't even look up from the pile of outfits she was currently drowning in. "Because I work better under pressure."
"You don't work better under pressure. You panic under pressure."
"Same thing."
Kiara glided past them both, rolling a perfectly packed suitcase that looked like it came straight out of a Pinterest board. "I just want everybody to know… if my luggage gets lost, I'm suing somebody."
Tae looked up from her spot on the couch, phone in hand. "You are not suing the cruise line because you lost your own bag."
"I wouldn't lose my bag."
"You lost your phone three times last month."
"That was different."
"How?"
"Because I found it."
The room erupted in laughter. Princess threw a shirt at Kiara's head, and Kiara caught it mid-air without breaking stride, tossing it back with an eye roll.
Imani shook her head, smiling despite herself. Then her gaze drifted toward the door, and the smile softened just a little. "Y/N, you good? You've been quiet."
The energy in the room shifted—just slightly, just enough. The kind of pause that happens when everybody's thinking the same thing but nobody wants to say it.
A few doors down, the boys were having their own version of chaos.
True tossed a shirt onto his bed and glanced over at Sincere, who was carefully laying out designer pieces like he was preparing for a fashion show instead of a vacation. "You bringing all that?"
Sincere didn't even look up. "What's wrong with it?"
"We going on a cruise, not a fashion show."
Sincere smirked, finally glancing over. "Speak for yourself."
Kash laughed from the chair he was sprawled in. "He not wrong though."
August shook his head, scrolling through his phone. "Both of y'all extra."
"And you still coming with us," True shot back.
August gave him a look. "Unfortunately."
The room went quiet for a second before everybody started laughing. Even after everything… the jokes were still the same. The friendship was still there.
But there was one thing nobody really talked about.
The fact that this was the first trip all of them were taking together since the breakup.
Sincere and True had been a part of Y/N's life for years. They weren't strangers. They weren't just exes that disappeared. They were still family. Still in the same circle. Still showing up.
And now they were all about to spend an entire week together on a cruise.
Everyone kept acting like it was no big deal. Like old feelings wouldn't show up. Like seeing someone you used to love wouldn't feel different.
But maybe a vacation was exactly what they all needed.
Or maybe… it was the worst idea they ever had.
