“She’s hooking up with one of her exes.”
“What?” Grayson chuckled.
“Austin is a great guy. They dated on and off for over a year. She broke it off with him because she claimed he was boring. Who knows.”
“Since she won’t be there, I guess that means you don’t have to go home tonight either.” He softly ran his finger up and down my arm.
“No?”
“No. Spend the night with me at my house. Maybe I’ll even treat you to a midnight swim.” The corners of his mouth curved upward.
“Sounds sexy.”
“I can guarantee you that it will be.” His lips met mine.
“I want to hear you play the guitar and sing.” I smiled.
“Okay.” I grabbed Gabriel’s guitar. “I’m calling on my brother and cousins for help.”
“What are we singing,” Simon asked.
“You’ll see.” Grayson smiled.
He started strumming the chords to California Dreaming.
“Fuck yeah.” Stefan grinned. “We’re ready.”
The second I heard the tune, a flashback and a switch happened.

I smiled as I clapped my hands to the tune. When the song was over, I couldn’t let anyone know I was out, so I needed to pretend I was Ava.
“That was amazing!”
“Thank you.” Grayson smiled.
“We better start heading back,” Shaun said.
I excused myself and went to the bathroom. When I was finished, I opened the door and saw Grayson standing there.
“Isn’t there more than one bathroom on this yacht?” I smirked.
“Freya, what’s going on?”
“My, aren’t you quite the observer. How did you know?”
“I just do. Why are you here?”
I inhaled a sharp breath as I went and sat on one of the couches.
“Sit down.” I patted the spot next to me. “Ava started having a flashback, and we couldn’t let that happen. It was that song you played.”
“I don’t understand,” he said.
“It’s the same song that played over and over again, non-stop upstairs at our childhood home.”
