I can’t help but laugh at the exasperation on her face. “Take the boys with you. Pretty sure they’d like to see the world too.”

“God, could you imagine?” She shakes her head, pausing to grab our drinks before handing them over to me as she pulls away from the window, heading toward school.

I put hers in the cup holder before taking a sip of my peppermint mocha and grin. “Actually, I kind of could. I think it would be brilliant. Maybe let’s try and persuade them to do a group trip over summer first? Or Spring Break? That could be fun.”

“That, my friend, is an excellent plan. And then after Spring Break, we are totally making plans for your birthday.”

I roll my eyes as we pull into the school parking lot, finding Lincoln and Maverick waiting for us. “We don’t need to do anything for my birthday. I’m happy with tacos and movies.”

“After the fuss you made about my birthday, you can fuck off. I love you, but no.” She grins as she puts the car in park and Maverick bounds over to my door and opens it.

“Morning, princess.” He grins, basically scooping me into his arms and out of the car. I squeal as he lifts me, and Lincoln takes my drink before Maverick spins me in a circle.

“Why are you in such a good mood?” I ask, laughing. “And please put me down.”

“My dad is going away for three months at the end of next month, my mom is going with him, though fuck knows why, butthat means my summer is basically free. What isn’t good about that?”

He kisses me playfully before putting me on my feet. “That is good news.”

Lincoln hands me my drink back and I look around for Finn but don’t see his car. “Where’s Finley?”

“He’s got a project today,” Lincoln says, a slight shake of his head telling me that we can’t talk about it here.

“Okay,” I say as I grab my phone and drop the guy in question a text instead.

Me:

Hey, where are you? Is everything okay?

Finn:

Morning, beautiful. Everything’s fine. I’ve just been looking into who Panda was working with, and hitting dead ends. So I’m spending the day going through everything he had at both houses to see what I can find.

Me:

Do you want help?

Finn:

Not a chance, beautiful. You have your GPA to worry about. I’ve got this.

Me:

If you’re sure.

Finn:

You doubting my skills, pretty girl?

Me:

**shocked face** I would never.

Finn:

Ha! Lies. I’ll shout if I find anything or have any questions. How’s that?

Me:
