“I like to do things. I’m not Avery.”
He raised an eyebrow. “What’s that mean?”
I laced my hands behind the back of his neck and clung to him like a little monkey. “Avery just wants a different room to read in. They came up here in the winter when she was pregnant, and she did nothing! Winter can be fun because you can ski or snowboard and stuff, but she was pregnant, and Nolan barely let her lift a finger.”
Felix smiled. “They probably had a bunch of sex. It was their honeymoon.”
I laughed. “True. Avs let it slip that he chopped a lot of firewood for her.”
“So he is like a regular lumberjack!”
We laughed together.
Felix frowned. “Wait, does that mean they fucked in that bed as much as we have?”
I laughed. “Um…Felix, baby, my parents probably fucked in that bed too.”
He shivered. “That doesn’t bother you?”
I shook my head. “Nah. Dad always told me sex wasn’t anything to be ashamed of. He didn’t do that ‘not till you’re thirty’ bullshit or the ‘don’t have sex or you’ll get pregnant and die’ thing. He told me what was what and then asked if I had questions.”
He frowned.
“What’s wrong?” I asked and framed his face with my hands.
“I worry about not teaching Skye enough. I tried, but she told me she had the internet and school had already taught her. I also might have told her no one should give her hickeys until she was thirty.”
“How old is she?”
“Thirteen.”
Thirteen? I thought she was much younger from the way he talked about her.
“She knew you were joking, right?”
He nodded.
“Then she knows you’re just looking out for her.”
I swam out of his arms.
“Where are you going?” he asked.
“Race me to the rope?” I asked.
He grinned. “You’re on, Jensen!”
We splashed around in the lake until my fingers pruned and I wanted to eat lunch. Felix raced me back to the blanket, where we almost knocked over Harper.
Harper shook her head with a laugh. “Same old, Gemma!”
I shrugged. “Who goes to the lake and doesn’t go in it?”
Keisha shuddered. “I don’t know what’s in there.”
“Yeah!” Harper agreed with her wife. “What if I get sucked into the deep by Nessie?”
“Nessie? Like the Loch Ness Monster, who’s one hundred percent not real?” Felix asked.
