I flip onto my back and just float. The water holds me up, and I stare at the sky. It's that impossibly clear, perfect blue, the kind that makes your chest feel light.

It feels like a promise.

“You can't say no to a Jack Saunders party.” “He would definitely be a hard man to say 'no' to.” I turned to look out at the water again.

Hope looked like a child now, I know it's just a joke, but I smiled. "No happy ending, my dear." Dylan reached out and I took the soap, placing it in his hand. I watched Hope's face get sadder and then she showed her tongue. "Boring." Hope spoke, but stayed quiet as Dylan lathered her up.
