feel really happy hearing those words come out of your mouth," Audrey replied. 
    "It may not be that long before those words come out of your mouth too," Isabel said. 
    Audrey was confused.  "What do you mean?"
    "Joshua has a single friend back in Hawaii that I think you'd just go crazy for," Isabel revealed. 
    "And let me guess, he's a surfer," Audrey said. 
    "He sure is.  I think you two would really hit it off.  He's hunky as hell, not to mention sweet as can be.  He's actually looking to join the pro surfer tour next year," Isabel explained. 
    "He sounds great," Audrey said. 
    "Why don't you find out how great for yourself?  I'll give you info.  You can e-mail him or something," Isabel replied. 
    Audrey tensed up.  Her eyes were wide as ever.  It was information overload, and Audrey was having trouble processing it all. 
    "What's the matter?  Too much of a curveball for you?" Isabel asked. 
    "No, it's just that before now going to Hawaii was just some crazy idea in my head.  But now it's dawning on me that this could actually work.  That my fantasy has a chance of becoming a reality," Audrey explained. 
    "The question is, are you ready to take the risk not knowing if there will be a reward waiting for you?" Isabel asked. 
     
    Chapter Six
     
    It was safe to say that Audrey had always been a dreamer.  But as the weeks went by, her head seemed as if her head would never leave the clouds.  Whereas at one time going to Hawaii only seemed like an escapist fantasy, Audrey was now entertaining it as a real possibility.  The faraway look in Audrey's eyes did not go unnoticed however.  So one night Elizabeth visited her sister in her room as Audrey stared out the window.
    "What's going on with you?" Elizabeth asked.  "You seem like you're a thousand miles away lately."
    Audrey was startled at first.  She hadn't even noticed her sister entering her room.  Audrey tried to deflect.  
    "Like you should talk," Audrey replied.
    Elizabeth wasn't going to be thrown off the scent though.  "Exactly.  So if I was able to pick up on it, that should tell you something.  Now what's going on?"
    Audrey could continue to dance around the issue, but she knew it would do no good.  Instead she decided to let her thoughts out.  But not without one caveat.
    "Alright, just promise you won't tell mom," Audrey said.
    "Woo, this should be good," Elizabeth replied.
    Audrey then took a deep breath before beginning.  
    "What do you think of Hawaii?" Audrey asked.
    "I don't," Elizabeth initially blurted out.  But then confusion came to her face.  "Wait--Hawaii?  Where did that come from?"
    "Did you know that there's a bunch of single hunky surfers there?" Audrey asked.
    "I do.  I mean, that's kind of what they're known for--you know, among other things," Elizabeth joked.
    "Yeah.  I'm so jealous," Audrey replied, sarcastically.  "I mean the place is truly paradise."
    Elizabeth stared into her sister's eyes.  She knew that look. 
    "Wait a minute.  Are you thinking of going to Hawaii?" Elizabeth asked.
    "I've been doing a lot of thinking about it actually.  The question is, what do you think of the idea?" Audrey asked.
    "You know how far it is from Florida right?" Elizabeth joked. 
    "Of course I do.  But moving there really worked out well for Isabel, so maybe it could work out well for me too.  What do you think?" Audrey asked. 
    "I think mom's head might explode if she hears about this," Elizabeth replied. 
    "Oh come on.  You went all the way to New York City for college," Audrey argued.   
    "And you saw how that took a toll on her.  Tell me she wasn't pulling her hair out the entire time I was gone," Elizabeth said. 
    Audrey got quiet in a hurry.  Her mom sure was.  Audrey had to constantly hear her mother complaining about why Elizabeth couldn't have found a school closer than New York.  Especially since Audrey had gone to school down the street at Gator University. 
    Audrey deflected.  "Forget
