CHAPTER FIFTY-FOUR
________
ISOLDE
The reception was incredible. My lungs burned from dancing and it wasn’t even dark yet. The freedom of knowing everything was good and going to be okay unlocked a part of me I thought was gone, and I wantedfun.
Ocean and Trinity found me after the ceremony, and they’d pulled me away from Ellie on the floor so we could dance together. I couldn’t wait for us to do more ball gown bowling and dinners where we could talk for hours. All the things I missed when I was away, and while I was with Beau too, because I’d done those things less while he was around.
Ocean checked her phone and froze. “Shit.”
“You okay?”
She smiled tightly. “I need to go. I’ll call you guys soon.”
“O, wait,” Rin said. “Give us something, please. Because you’re kind of freaking us out.”
Ocean worried her lower lip between her teeth. “I’m getting married.”
“What?” Rin and I spoke at the same time.
“When?” I asked.
Trinity followed up. “To who?”
Our friend stared at us and shook her head. “I have no idea.”
Then she turned and left, nearly sprinting for the main house and leaving us both there in shock.
“What the fuck?” I asked.
“What the fuck indeed. There were a lot of things I guessed might come out of her mouth, and that wasnotit.”
A phone rang, and Trinity pulled her phone out of her cleavage before I could even ask who it was. “Hello?” She paused. “No, I can’t—hold on.” Rin rolled her eyes as she pressed the phone to her shoulder. “I have to take this. I’ll be back, though.”
“I need a break anyway.” I made my way over to my pack at our table. They all saw me coming, and I might have moved my hips a bit more just to feel the way they watched. “Hi.”
“Ocean okay?” Vaughn asked.
I had no idea how to answer that, but I wasn’t going to say anything until we knew what the hell was going on. “Yeah. I think so. We’re not really sure yet. But maybe?”
“That was… not an answer at all,” Hawk laughed.
“No, but it’s all I’ve got at the moment.” I grabbed a glass of water, downing it in one go.
“Thirsty?”
“Dancing is thirsty work. You all should try it. Are you going to dance with me?”
“Hell yes,” Cade said, eyes full of fire. “We will.”
Vaughn leaned closer. “But first, want to take a walk on the beach with us?”
I eyed him warily. “If I say yes, am I about to get chased and wet? Cause I’m not sure I’m done with the party yet, so any ‘let’s get dirty on the beach’ ideas might have to wait.”
Joel came around the table to me. “No getting dirty on the beach. Right now, anyway. The sunset is beautiful, and we just want a second with you.”
