Chapter 48
Chapter Forty-Eight
W hen I woke up Niall had messaged me back and I fought the urge to ask him why it had taken him so long to reply.
Well done! How do you feel? Did you enjoy it?
I did.
I knew you would. The world’s your pearl now!
Ha ha.
Do you want your next challenge?
What about your kiss with Una?!
Have you seen Una?
I’m sure you already know that I have.
Yes, I do.
So why ask?
Why didn’t you say you’d kissed her?
Why do I have to?
Do you like Una then?
Yes, I like Una.
Like as in like?
Not in a romantic way, if that’s what you mean. I had too much to drink.
You don’t have to explain yourself.
I thought you wanted me to?
No, I just wondered, that’s all.
Do you want your second challenge?
What is it?
I’ll send you the link.
Why can’t you just tell me?
I’ll send you the link, Pearl.
A short moment later my phone pinged and everything I thought I’d be able to take on crumbled again.
You’re going to Roy’s Peak. You can fly from Rotorua to Wanaka. The flight details are in the link. Postcode for accommodation is here.

I took a sleeping tablet (I bought one from the pharmacy) and slept the entire flight from Rotorua to Wanaka.
