Frankie’s hand met mine just as we were pulling out of the slip where the boat was housed while
it wasn’t in use.
I looked down at her to see her smiling wide at me.
“You’re smiling,” she said, her eyes going to the captain and back.
A look of recognition hit her as she did, and I gave her a squeeze.
She squeezed me back, giving it all she got.
My lips twitched.
“Was that supposed to hurt?” I asked curiously.
She bared her teeth at me.
“It did hurt, admit it,” she ordered.
I snorted. “Hurt like crazy,” I lied. “Let’s go sit down.”
We sat in the front of the boat again, right in the nose.
A few people cast us wary glances—well, more me than Frankie—but ultimately behaved
themselves.
And I ended up having one hell of a time.
With Frankie under my arm, the setting sun in my face, and no responsibilities for the next few
days, my life didn’t seem anywhere near as daunting for the days ahead.

“There you are!”
I turned to find Jessica and Ashley making their way to their car.
“What happened to you?” Ashley asked.
“We went on that boat ride.” I didn’t see a point in lying.
“Oh,” Ashley said. “Well, it’s weird that you left. But, funny thing. We were drinking out at the
bar, and you’ll never guess who we saw!”
I didn’t really care who they saw.
What I cared about was getting off my feet.
I’d worn wedge sandals and they were killing my arches and toes after wearing them for so long.
