Olivia

I’m sitting on the creaky old couch in the living room when I hear them down at the dock, their laughter and voices drifting up through the open window. I quickly reach over and turn on the radio, so it’s not like I’m sitting here alone, and grab one of the years-old Good Housekeeping magazines off the coffee table.

They breeze through the door a moment later. Liam’s mumbling something that makes Zoey giggle, and she leans over, resting a hand on his arm.

Something streaks though me as I watch her fingers curl around his biceps.

Jealousy.

I blink. I’ve never been jealous of Liam. Maybe he has someone at the cabin with him, unlike me, but I’m not going to start getting jealous of him now.

I toss the magazine back onto the coffee table and hope they don’t notice how old and stupid it is. “How was the tour of the lake?”

“Awesome,” Zoey says, beaming. “It’s way bigger than it looks from the dock.”

Liam made her smile, from ear to ear.

The streak of jealousy grows a mile wide. I’ve never seen her smile quite like that, so naturally. And for some stupid reason the urge to make her do it again is almost overwhelming.

“You should see it at night,” I find myself saying. “With the stars.”

“That sounds cool,” she says, glancing over at Liam.

He puts his hands up in a surrender pose. “Don’t look at me, I’m going to drink beer. You know the rules.”

I raise my hand up like a boy scout pledge. “Thou shalt not mix alcohol and boating, lest you be struck dead by God.”

He rolls his eyes. “I don’t think Mom said it quite like that.”

I shrug. “I’ll take you later,” I say to Zoey. “It’s way too pretty to miss for a beer.”

And she beams again, making it all worth it.
