I took a couple of pictures of us, dance with Kal on my arms as I planted a kiss on his forehead. We headed home and I went inside my room to change and took a long bath. That night my parents went in my room when I was about to sleep. We talk about the deal and that I should prepare for Mr. Cold-foot, I mean Mr. Cole Ford will be coming any day this week. I sighed as they took their leave. I guess my freedom ends as summer starts. Summer, it’s like my favorite of all the seasons but at the same time I hate it.... •••

Micah didn’t look up. Amelia added, “Wait, why? Did Micah tell you?” Colton’s gazed over at him. “Yeah. He did.” Amelia didn’t say anything at first. Then, quietly: “Okay… yeah. That’s what I want.” Colton hung up. “That’s weird, man.” Callum looked up from his phone. “What’s weird?” “Micah just knew Amelia’s drink. Like, exact.” Callum laughed. “Dude’s got a freak memory. Probably knows everyone’s.”

' I read through each message, my finger pausing on the screen. Another message from Celeste came in, full of indignation. 'They're all opportunists, siding with whoever's winning. Jenna even treated the whole company to afternoon tea to celebrate. Shameless. And the bill was paid by Mr. Cladwell!' I did not reply.

"Notify all core members. Emergency meeting in one hour." The air in the conference room was even heavier than last time. Dante's expression was blank. "Elena, what drama are you trying to stir up now?" I tossed the bill onto the table. "Fifty million dollars. How do you plan to explain that?" Dante glanced at the ledger. "Sofia wants to open a Vegas entertainment company. She needed seed money." "Entertainment company?" I sneered. "Are you saying your "investment" lost eight million overnight at the casino?"

Tell me quick what to do. Rachel: Shower and bathe every crevice in your body and douse yourself with that jasmine scent you love. He'll love it when he peels you out of your clothes. Wear one of your tank tops so he can get an eyeful of your cleavage and have a hell of a time. Oh and wear your hair loose. Autumn bit her lip, hesitant to voice the fear she'd pushed back. But if she couldn't ask practical Rachel, who then? Autumn: What if my age turns him off? I don't think he knows how old I am, really.

“Thanks for liking it. And about the snacks, there are a few you can eat, don’t worry.” That actually made me laugh, a real laugh. For a second I felt… normal. Like someone my age. Like a girl hanging out with another girl. Not a broken person trying to survive her own guilt. We got into the tent together, the fabric brushing softly behind us as we settled in. Adeline grabbed the iPad, her fingers tapping lightly across the screen. “What are we watching?” I asked. “The Summer I Turned Pretty,” she said casually, still focused on choosing the episode.

It was a kid’s show, though my brother had also secretly enjoyed watching it with me during his downtime. Juliana’s eyes latched onto the screen of my phone as I began playing The Grim Adventures of Billy and Mandy at low volume – loud enough for her to hear it, but low enough so it wouldn’t disturb the other patrons. It had taken me forever to figure out how to work the different apps on my phone yesterday while Juliana had been sleeping.

By the time our food came, Juliana was halfway into episode two, and her water was gone. I asked Aimee to refill her glass, a

she replies, smiling. Oh, wow, that went better than I thought it would, “Promise? You aren’t just saying that?” I question, “Promise. We are on the same page.” She answers. I instantly relaxed, knowing we were thinking the same, for now, but there was a chance my recent thoughts would reappear, but I will just continue to fight them for the rest of our time because after the summer, we go back to our lives and possibly not see each other. “What do you want to do today?” I ask, “Or do you want to write some more?” I added.

Charlotte wanted to watch cartoons, yet she could not find any after searching the channels using the remote control. Suddenly, her eyes brightened. “Mommy, it’s daddy. Daddy is on TV!” she called out. Summer was preparing her medicine. She was down with a mild cold due to the recently chilling weather. “Mommy, look quickly, daddy is a hero, daddy is on TV!” She hopped around excitedly. Summer took a glance.
