Are you okay? Iâm sorry about tonight. My anger got the better of me.
I quickly type a message back.
Me
Sheâs your wife. Itâs understandable.
Hunter
Thereâs a proper way to conduct yourself, and tonight was not proper, at least on my behalf.
Me
Look, itâs me. Iâve seen you not conduct yourself properly several times. Anyways, itâs a full moon tonight. It explains everything.
Hunter
A full moon doesnât 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.
âLet me guess, Alexa?â
He simply nods. âYeah, sheâs just telling me not to be stupid tonight because itâs a full moon.â
Another laugh barrels out of my mouth. âThatâs what I said to Hunter!â
âDonât you think itâs fucked up how weâre sitting here together, and theyâre checking up on us?â
âI donât think itâs checking up on us. I think theyâre genuinely worried, you know because we young kids can do stupid things like have a one-night stand with a stranger on the beach.â
Beau purses his lips. âDoes Cash always text you to check up on you?â
âHeâs just worried. Itâs not like that, or whatever you think itâs like.â
âI think he has a thing for you.â
My head snaps in his direction so our eyes meet. âYou just want there to be a thing so you can justify them breaking up.â
âOr, maybe, youâre just that blinded by his kindness. You canât see it.â
I stand up on my feet and, like Beau, hover at the cliff's edge.
âHunter has been there for me since day one,â I tell him in a raised tone. âHeâs never let me down, unlike my mother, who abandoned me. Heâs the closest thing I have to family, so maybe he does check up on me, but itâs only because weâve known each other for a while.â
âApril, can you move away from the edge, please,â Beau begs.
My gaze drifts to beneath the edge of the cliff. Itâs quite a fall and one which would end everything in just one jump. How fucking tempting at times this would be.
âIâm not going to jump,â I mumble.
Beau snatches my arm, bringing me back. âIâll feel better, if youâre standing right here.â
âHappy?â I cross my arms beneath my chest. âAre you going to respond to Alexa?â
He shakes his head. âNot tonight. I have nothing to say right now. Whatâs the point, right?â
âHow did we end up here?â I question while lifting my head to look into the dark sky.
âI dunno, but all I know is after Ericâs wedding, vow renewal, whatever the fuck it is, Iâm outta here.â
I plonk myself back onto the ground as Beau joins me. âI wish I didnât say yes. Being surrounded by all these happy families isnât my thing.â
âYouâll meet my dad, and let me warn you. Heâll probably say something inappropriate or end the night in his underwear on the dancefloor.â
âFun,â I mock.
âIt wonât be that bad.â
Itâs hard to explain how this constant knot in my stomach fills me with dread.
