Where The Summer Wind Blows (book One) Chapter TwentyNine
The sun had dropped just low enough that the porch boards were turning amber, the shadows of the railing slicing across them like fingers reaching for the night. Ari leaned back in her chair, the warm evening air curling around her like a blanket, and she could hear the faint hum of cicadas threading through the yard.Gavin’s hand was in hers, thumb brushing over her knuckles in the slow, steady rhythm that always seemed to anchor her. He was quiet now, unusually so, staring toward the house, where light spilled from the kitchen windows in soft squares.“Do you hear that?” he asked, voice low, cautious.“What?” Ari tilted her head, trying to catch his meaning.“Inside,” he said, a thread of unease in his voice. “Sounds… different. Not bad, not weird, just…” He trailed off, squinting toward the kitchen window. “…like there’s something heavy in the air.”Eben snorted, legs stretched out lazily, but even he shifted slightly, catching the faint tension. “You’re reading too much into it,” h

Then he leaned in, just enough that his forehead rested against mine. The warmth of him, the closeness, stole my breath.“I love you too, Ari,” he whispered, voice rough, breaking at the edges. “I’ve loved you longer than I know how to explain. And I thought I could bury it, hide it, let it go… but every time I tried, I just found myself coming back to you. Every time.”Tears pricked hot in my eyes, but his thumb caught one before it could fall. He smiled, small and aching, like he’d been waiting years to finally let this truth out.“I don’t care if it’s messy,” he said, his voice steadier now. “I don’t care what anyone else thinks. I just—” His words faltered, and instead he closed the gap between us. His lips brushed mine, feather-light, a kiss that wasn’t hunger or urgency but a promise. A confession.The world tilted, melted, disappeared.And when he finally pulled back, his forehead still resting against mine, he whispered it again, so low I almost thought I imagined it.“I love

Gemma nodded, hugging her knees. “If it’s something private, just say so. But don’t act like we’re imagining it. Because we’re not.”My throat tightened. I opened my mouth—then closed it again. The words sat too close to the surface, too sharp to risk spilling in front of them.Before I could say anything, Gavin finally exhaled, low and steady. “Some things aren’t ready to be explained yet.” His voice was calm, but his hand curled into a fist against his thigh, a betraying edge. “And when they are… you’ll understand.”The porch went quiet again, the ocean filling in the space where answers should’ve been.Eben leaned back with a sigh, like he wanted to push harder but knew better. Gemma bit her lip, watching me carefully, like she could see through my silence.The silence stretched, the kind that didn’t feel peaceful but heavy, restless. I shifted on the porch step, suddenly hyper-aware that Eben and Gemma weren’t just my friends—they were family, the kind who saw too much without hav

Josh turned toward her, brow furrowing. “That’s the thing, though. You are someone without him. You don’t see it, but… you’re strong. You’re sharp. You’re—” he stopped, the words almost sticking in his throat. “You don’t need him to be someone.”Mara gave a bitter laugh, shaky. “Strong? I cried my eyes out in front of you, a total stranger in this house, and I can’t even breathe without feeling like my chest is caving in. That’s not strong.”He didn’t hesitate this time. “Yeah, it is. You let yourself feel it. That’s stronger than pretending.”She blinked at him, stunned into silence. And then, without really meaning to, she let her head fall onto his shoulder. Josh tensed for half a second, his whole body stiff like he wasn’t sure if he should let her, but then he slowly relaxed, turning his cheek just enough to brush against her hair.Neither of them spoke. The swing creaked softly as it shifted under their weight. Mara’s breathing started to steady, syncing with his.“You know,” Jo

Gavin let out a quiet, forced laugh, his hand tightening just a fraction around the beer bottle. “I’m… just making sure things don’t get out of hand,” he said, voice low but tense. His eyes flicked toward us again, lingering just long enough to make it impossible to ignore.Gemma elbowed me, voice

Mara’s patience snapped. She shoved against Gavin’s shoulder, her voice sharp and loud enough for anyone nearby to hear. “Seriously, Gavin! Stop staring at them! I’m right here! Do I mean nothing to you tonight?!”Gavin stiffened, caught between the outburst and his subtle, protective attention tow

Gemma giggles. “Oh, it’ll survive… barely. But tonight? Definitely unforgettable.”The beach house was warm, the faint scent of salt and sunscreen lingering in the air. I pulled my damp hair back and shook off the last traces of water from the walk over, tugging at my outfit one last time.I had pi

We look at each other for a moment before we smile and, without another word, Gemma and I jump into the water where the boys are waiting. The cold hits instantly, making us gasp and sputter, while Gavin surfaces beside us, water running down his shoulders, eyes narrowed but not unkind.“Finally!” E
