Are you okay? I’m sorry about tonight. My anger got the better of me.

I quickly type a message back.

Me

She’s your wife. It’s understandable.

Hunter

There’s a proper way to conduct yourself, and tonight was not proper, at least on my behalf.

Me

Look, it’s me. I’ve seen you not conduct yourself properly several times. Anyways, it’s a full moon tonight. It explains everything.

Hunter

A full moon doesn’t excuse poor behavior.

I laugh out loud as Beau cocks his head to read my message. At the same time he does, his phone pings too. His brows immediately furrow, but then his face softens.

“Let me guess, Alexa?”

He simply nods. “Yeah, she’s just telling me not to be stupid tonight because it’s a full moon.”

Another laugh barrels out of my mouth. “That’s what I said to Hunter!”

“Don’t you think it’s fucked up how we’re sitting here together, and they’re checking up on us?”

“I don’t think it’s checking up on us. I think they’re genuinely worried, you know because we young kids can do stupid things like have a one-night stand with a stranger on the beach.”

Beau purses his lips. “Does Cash always text you to check up on you?”

“He’s just worried. It’s not like that, or whatever you think it’s like.”

“I think he has a thing for you.”

My head snaps in his direction so our eyes meet. “You just want there to be a thing so you can justify them breaking up.”

“Or, maybe, you’re just that blinded by his kindness. You can’t see it.”

I stand up on my feet and, like Beau, hover at the cliff's edge.

“Hunter has been there for me since day one,” I tell him in a raised tone. “He’s never let me down, unlike my mother, who abandoned me. He’s the closest thing I have to family, so maybe he does check up on me, but it’s only because we’ve known each other for a while.”

“April, can you move away from the edge, please,” Beau begs.

My gaze drifts to beneath the edge of the cliff. It’s quite a fall and one which would end everything in just one jump. How fucking tempting at times this would be.

“I’m not going to jump,” I mumble.

Beau snatches my arm, bringing me back. “I’ll feel better, if you’re standing right here.”

“Happy?” I cross my arms beneath my chest. “Are you going to respond to Alexa?”

He shakes his head. “Not tonight. I have nothing to say right now. What’s the point, right?”

“How did we end up here?” I question while lifting my head to look into the dark sky.

“I dunno, but all I know is after Eric’s wedding, vow renewal, whatever the fuck it is, I’m outta here.”

I plonk myself back onto the ground as Beau joins me. “I wish I didn’t say yes. Being surrounded by all these happy families isn’t my thing.”

“You’ll meet my dad, and let me warn you. He’ll probably say something inappropriate or end the night in his underwear on the dancefloor.”

“Fun,” I mock.

“It won’t be that bad.”

It’s hard to explain how this constant knot in my stomach fills me with dread.
