“Well, isn’t that what happens? You never see each other again?” “Yeah, usually that’s how it works. But I’d like to still keep in contact? If that’s cool with you?” He looks at me, chewing on his toast. “Oh yeah, sure! I’d like that… sorry, I just don’t know how this works… it’s my first…

“It’s raining,” Cole calls out behind me. “I’m getting wet anyway.” I close the door behind me and keep walking. The cold, damp sand meets my feet as I dodge the shells sticking out of the sand. The cool rain splashes on my skin. The air is pleasantly warm as I approach the water, taking…

When a guy comes up behind Hannah, she shoots us a pleading look. Andy switches places with her to ward him off. I shout to Andy and Hannah that I’m heading back to the bar for a drink. They follow me, and we ascend the steps to the bar where my sister is perched, sipping…

“She’s not my girlfriend, Alex! I don’t have one. I’ve never had one. Just don’t go, please? Or let me come with you?” “You obviously don’t know the meaning of a girls’ night out then… she is your damn girlfriend, Knox!” I gritted my teeth. He was testing my patience. “She’s not! I’ve never asked…

“Yeah! I can do your hair and makeup! Make you look drop-dead gorgeous… not that you aren’t… but make you so hot the guys will be all over you.” Lauren snorts from the other end of the table, prompting Delilah to ask, “Is there something funny, Lauren?” Lauren shakes her head, and Delilah smirks. “I…

“How’d you know that idiot?” Tyson teases, glancing over at Knox. I can’t help but smirk. I like this guy. I approve, Sam. I approve. “Well, he’s best friends with my younger brother-“ “Wait, you’re from New York?” Tyson interrupts, his eyes widening. Sam nods shyly, meeting his gaze once more. “Dude, aren’t you dating…

“I know,” Knox says quietly, taking a sip of his water. Is he acknowledging that she doesn’t like her, or that he could do better? I’ll never know. His words are cryptic now, filled with hidden meanings that I can’t decipher. Drop it, Alex, I tell myself. It’s not worth the effort. He’s moved on….
