Chapter 12

Garrett

I pay for parking in a lot on Franklin Street and walk down toward the pier, still trying to get Levi’s words from the other day out of my head.

What does Levi know, anyway? I ask myself, just as I’ve been asking myself that for the last few days. It’s a harmless double date, like half a dozen Beck and I have gone on in the past.

Tasha and I decided to do our inaugural double date on a dinner-and-dancing cruise on Casco Bay, and Beck agreed when I texted the info to her. It means we’re all stuck on a boat together for like three hours, but I figure if four grown-ass adults can’t manage to make small talk for a few hours, what is the world coming to?

Plus, it gives me time to scope out Beck’s new guy. Make sure I approve. I disliked that Sam guy on sight, and look what happened there. It’s best if I get a good feel for this new guy before they get too serious. If I’d met Sam before he and Beck started sleeping together, I could have warned her away and spared her that—

Oh my God. She’s not sleeping with this new guy already, is she?

Just like that, my vision is hazed over with red. She’d better not be. He’d better have kept his hands to—

I shake it off. Not my business. Not my business.

Not. My. Business.

Beck gets to sleep with anyone she wants. And anyway, Beck doesn’t just fall into bed with people.

She just fell into bed with you, you asshole.

Even my own brain hates me right now. Great.

I text Beck. You guys almost here?

Yes. See you in a few :)

See? Smiley emoticon. Take that, Levi. After tonight, Beck and I will be back on solid ground, and it’ll be like that weekend in Boston didn’t even happen.

That thought makes my chest ache, so I decide not to think about it right now.

Looking up, I catch the eye of a short girl in a sleeveless black dress, her blond hair in a fashionable pixie cut. Tasha, I’m pretty sure. I’ve only seen the couple of pics she had on Tinder, but this looks like her. As she approaches, I smile. She’s cute, and has been fun to text with.

“Garrett?” she says, holding out a hand.

I take it. “Guilty as charged. You’re Tasha?”

“It’s nice to meet you,” she says.

“You, too,” I say. “My friend should be here shortly.”

She nods, then turns to look at the boat docked at the end of the pier. “I’ve actually never done one of these before,” she says. “It sounds kind of kitschy and fun.”

I nod. “It really does. Like, so lame that it’s kind of cool?”

She laughs, a sort of low-pitched giggle. It’s a little like—

Nope. Not comparing my date to Beck. Rude.

“Do you think we’ll see the swans?” she asks.

The swans are kind of an urban legend in this area, to the point that the town where my parents live is named after them.
