She never expected to run into him, least of all at a resort in Mexico.
After the whirlwind book tour Carrie needed some time away from everyone and from the city, just to decompress and relax. One of the secretaries at the publishing agency had suggested an exclusive spa resort in Los Cabos for her vacation. After checking out the spa and the area, she decided that it sounded perfect; just what she needed.
And after she had seen him in San Francisco that one night, and then had to leave him again, her heart felt heavy. She had been in and out of meaningless relationships since he left her in New York and she was beginning to believe that true love was not meant for her. She was beginning to think that her heart belonged to a man who could never love her the way that she wanted to be loved. She hated to be a cliché, but she really had left her heart in San Francisco.
But maybe after a nice relaxing vacation, she could redirect her life and maybe redirect herself back into his heart.
Back in San Francisco, Mr. Big was feeling a little lost as well. That one night … and morning … that he had spent with Carrie made him realize what a mistake it had been to leave New York.
After he read her book it seemed like all the memories of their relationship, the ones that he had pushed to the back of his mind and forced himself not to recall, were consuming him. He couldn't stop thinking about every detail of their time together and subsequent break-ups while he was still living in New York.
These thoughts plagued him day and night and he started to become irritable and distracted at work. Finally, his assistant suggested that he take a vacation. He needed time to clear his head and work out this problem. She recommended a spa resort in Los Cabos, Mexico and booked him for a week.
By the time that he finished reading her book, the realization hit him like a ton of bricks. She was the one that he was meant to be with. She was the one he truly loved.
Now he just had to figure out how to get her back.
