“She locked herself in there and won’t open the door.”

I’d raced up the beach and into the house after my brother. He didn’t stop to tell me what was going on, just finally stopping at the end of a long hallway with dark hardwood floors. I look over my shoulder and see Carter is close behind.

“Katherine?” he calls, knocking on the door. “It’s Atticus.”

“Go away,” she says, voice close to the door. Her voice slurs. “I don’t want to talk to you.”

“Is she drunk?” I ask.

Atticus clenches his jaw and nods.

“Bea? Bea? Is that you?”

When I don’t reply right away, Atticus leans against the door. “Yeah, babe, I brought her up here, just like you asked.”

“Buzzbuzz, come talk to me.” Her voice shifts to a fake loud whisper. “Your brother is going to dump me, Buzzbuzz.”

“Buzzbuzz?” Carter asks, eyebrow raised.

“You know like a bee? Bea?” I roll my eyes at him, but he fights a grin. “Shut up.” I look at my brother. “What did you do?”

Atticus’ eyes, which are the same shade as my own, open wide. He holds up his hands. “Nothing. I promise. I went to get her some water in the kitchen and when I came back she ran down here, shouting about me ruining her life and crying about breaking up.”

I give him a hard look. There’s no way I want to get in the middle of this, but Katherine sounds pretty messed up and my brother, although an idiot, seems pretty freaked out.

“Fine. But you owe me—big.” I walk over to the door and try the knob. It’s locked. “Katherine, open the door so I can come in.”

I hear her fingers fumble with the lock and Atticus shifts behind me. I look over at Carter. “Get him out of here, will you?”

Our eyes hold for a beat and I feel my cheeks warm at the thought of his lips on mine just minutes ago. Everything looks different in the light of the hallway. His hair is wild from the wind and I can’t imagine how much of a mess mine is. He’s still handsome—ridiculously so. I can only imagine he’s having second thoughts about everything that transpired between us on the beach. Not just the kiss but what he told me before about his mom. I can’t believe he trusted me with that.

My first kiss and it was with Carter Haines. How stupid could I be?

“Come on, dude,” he says to Atticus. “Give the girls a minute to work this out.”

When the boys leave I open the door and step in the bathroom. Well, bathroom is an understatement. It’s more like a lounge. There’s a white couch with pale blue pillows. A dressing table and a chandelier. The only thing messing up the scene is my former best friend lying in the middle of the floor with her shirt on backwards. Clutched to her chest is a rectangular picture frame.

I sink to my knees. “Girl, what is going on here? What happened to your shirt?”

She looks down and squints.
