Cass: Stop enjoying yourself.

Remy: No idea what you’re talking about.

Cass: OMG dude, I’m going to throttle you.

Remy: Look at Hank rn. How pissed is he?

Cass: Super duper core of the sun pissed.

Remy: See? It’s working. Trust the process.

Cass: aewkfhlwfafwoeiaj;

“Everything okay?” Jessa asked.

I turned on the truck. “Yeah, just getting in trouble with Cass.”

“I hate that part of it.”

“Me too.” When I put my hand on the back of her seat to back up, I couldn’t help but lean in for a kiss. When she sighed, I added, “Worth it.”

We pulled out of the parking lot and onto the road, turning away from town.

She looked like a million bucks sitting there in my beat up old truck, floppy hat in her lap, her expression all wistful as she watched the forest roll by.

“Where are we going?”

“It’s a surprise.”

“Your favorite.”

“It’s true. So how’d it go with your mom?”

At that, all the pep slid out of her. “As well as could be expected, I suppose. The house is ridiculous, though how ridiculous it is, I don’t know. I only ran in for the loo before coming here. I believe she’s hired a chef, the driver of course, and who knows what else.”

“Aren’t you used to that sort of thing?”

“Well, yes. It’s just . . . different now.”

I glanced at her, confused. “How so?”

“I dunno. I suppose being here where things are easy. There everything feels too big. Too grand. Too complicated. There is jammed with expectation and responsibility. Here just...is.”

“Vacation brain.”

“Pardon?”

“Vacation brain. You know, where you glorify a place because you’re infatuated with it.”

“Oh. Then do I have vacation pussy too?”

A laugh shot out of me. “Jesus Christ, Jess.”

She shifted to put her back against the passenger door, her finger between her teeth and a sly look on her face. “Your cock has been glorified in the highest, and I am most definitely infatuated with it.”

Her legs parted a little, and I caught sight of said infatuated pussy, barely contained by her thong.

“You’d better cut that out,” I warned.
