“No.”

“I knew you’d say that.” I go over to Charlie and extend a hand, even though he’s way taller and way stronger. There’s no way I can pull him off the couch, and part of me sings with that recognition. He works out. He worked out in college, but now that he’s admitted the thing about the resort, I can see it for what it is: desperation exercise. “I’m choosing not to listen.”

“I am not doing dancing.”

“You are going dancing, and it’s going to be amazing.”

“Where do you think I’m going to dance?”

“Down on the beach.”

“No. No way. Beau’s parties aren’t my thing.”

I put both hands on my hips. “They should be, because he throws great parties.”

His eyes fill with skepticism. “How many of his parties have you been to? One?”

“Two. So I’m very experienced. Anyway, we’re not going to a party. We’re going to the beach. Right now. Come on.”

The sun has already set. The long summer nights are over, but we’re in that sweet spot where it’s not too cold and not too warm. I offer him my hand again.

“This is still your solution to everything, isn’t it?”

I thrust my hand toward him. “It’s a good solution.”

I can feel it—the weight of this moment. If he takes my hand and we go dancing, it will mean something. The exact meaning escapes me, which is why it’s a good thing I’m not a lawyer or otherwise involved in a career that hinges on exact meanings.

Charlie takes my hand.

He stands up from the couch.

“Okay.” He puts his hands in his pockets. “Let’s go to the beach.”
