script, but plans get derailed all the time.  We all know this at this
table.  I don’t think one person here can say that everything they planned in
their lives has happened exactly as they planned it, right?”  Amy looked around
the table and everyone was nodding, even Arianna, although very reluctantly. 
“If something is meant to happen in your life, it will happen.”  Amy looked at
me and then looked at Jake and held his gaze.  “Destiny is a powerful thing.”       
    Everyone
was silent for a minute digesting Amy’s words, and she was absolutely right, if
something was meant to be it would happen.  But it was really hard for me to
apply that belief to me and Jake.  It was clear to me that Jake didn’t want
anything to do with me.  My heart broke the day I left him all those years ago,
and it was breaking all over again today.
    “I
agree Amy, it is very powerful.  I also think timing is a powerful thing.  We
might wonder why something didn’t work out at a particular time in our lives
only to find out that the timing was off.  And then later in life, we get a
second chance at whatever or whomever, and timing is perfect and everything
falls into place.”  Adam boldly looked at me as the words rolled off his
tongue.
    I
glanced at Jake and his eyes narrowed and he set his jaw.  I had never seen
such a dark expression on his face.  Is he jealous??   The Jake I used to
know was never jealous.  He always considered it a compliment to him if someone
else was interested in me. 
    Arianna
seemed to be pleased that Jake and I weren’t getting along.  She was literally
pawing him at the table.  She was seated right next to him and she flaunted
their close proximity every chance she got.
    “Jake,
I’m going to have to eat with my other hand if we keep bumping elbows like
this.  You just want to touch me any chance you get, don’t you?”  Arianna
batted her eyes at him and I rolled my eyes at Amy.  Desperate much?  Witch.
    Amy
resorted to condescension as she spoke slowly to Arianna.  “You know, Arianne,
you could move your chair to the left and you would both have plenty of room.” 
I had to hold back my laughter at Amy’s sarcastic comment. 
    Arianna
glared at Amy.  “You know my name is Arianna not Arianne.  Everyone
knows who I am.”  She tossed her hair over her shoulder as she leaned all the
way down to her plate to take a bite of her food.
    “Hmmm,
that’s interesting Arianna .  Did I get your name right?  Anyway, that’s
so interesting that you dip your face all the way down to your food. 
Dogs eat like that also.”  Amy smirked at her as the words rolled off her
tongue.  Arianna’s face turned bright red as she glared at Amy, seething, but
she didn’t dip her face down to her plate anymore during the evening.
    “Amy,
you’re so bad,” I whispered.
    She
winked at me as she whispered to me.  “I’m not going to let her think she’s
getting to either one of us.”
    Amy
was so awesome, I loved her.  The talk at the table turned to the festivities
that were planned for the week.  We were going to some amazing places and I
hadn’t had a vacation in a while so I was excited to go.  Our first stop was
going to be Cozumel.
    “Jake,
remember our trip to Cozumel a few years ago?  It was so incredible .” 
Arianna’s words shocked me.  Did they go on a trip together?  Did he actually
date this girl?  Jake smiled and winked at Arianna and looked right at me.
    “I
do remember that trip, we had a great time.”  His dark eyes carefully watched
my reaction as I tried to disguise the hurt I felt.  Why is he trying to
hurt me like this?  
    I
could have sworn I saw a slight look of remorse on his face as he watched my
reaction to his words.  I think he felt bad for hurting my feelings because he
quickly cleared things up for me.
    “It
was a nice surprise that our families were vacationing at the same place at the
same time.  My mother was thrilled to
