Remembering that she left her phone in the next tent, Summer immediately jumped out. "That must be Mommy and Daddy! They want to tell me that they're on the cruise ship!" The others rushed to follow her. When they arrived at the next tent, Summer was already sitting cross-legged with her phone pressed to her ear. "Mommy, Daddy! Have you arrived at the cruise ship?" "Hello, Honey. Isn't it still early there? Why are you so excited?" Sky asked. "Because I knew today would be a fun day, Mommy. Just like yesterday. I had a great time here.

"O-Of course. We're friends." Satisfied with my response, Bethany finally let go of my arm and followed me inside. I opened the door, but the office was pitch-black. "Dad, these are the friends I mentioned, the ones coming to work here for the summer," I said cautiously. Before I could introduce them, they pushed past me and crowded into the room. "Hello, Mr. Parker. We're here for the summer jobs. May I know what the pay is like? Is ten thousand dollars a month okay? Oh, and I'm not really into factory work. Can I get an office job instead?"

Oblivious to the couple nearing us, Summer was confused by my sudden urgency. "Let's go somewhere else. I don't want to be here anymore." Keeping my back to Liam and Julia, I tried to make myself invisible. Summer's eyebrows knit together, her gaze filled with confusion at my abrupt change in demeanor.

Julia’s words oozed sarcasm and an air of smugness.

Checks the time 'Sh*t it's already six thirty'. Summer had begun and all of the neighborhood kids took advantage of every bit of daylight that shined. As soon as the sun come up you could hear the ATV's rummble from inside the house. Blacking out her windows to get some sleep during the daylight hours had done its job but there was nothing she could do about the noise disturbing her rest.

They probably post photos on I*******m with captions like "Sun, sea, sand #blessed," sip ouzo in the evenings, smash plates, and just soak up that effortless island vibe. And what am I doing? I’m covering my ears with my hands, counting prime numbers backward in my head, and trying not to lose my absolute mind. I am in a literal marathon to stay sane.

But here’s the thing about summer—it never really lasts, does it? The parties thinned out, and the laughter came in smaller bursts. Suddenly, everyone was talking about plans: college, jobs, maybe even moving to the city. The magic of Mahdfel started to fade, slipping away before Autumn could hold on tight enough.

Please, let him never break her heart like he broke mine. “Got a long list of ex-lovers… they’ll tell you I’m insane!” Summer sang along at the top of her lungs, and Helios grimaced. “Princess, those lyrics are a little old for you.” I rolled my eyes.
