“Get up!”

I bolted upright, nearly smacking my head on the top bunk.

“Everyone up,” Aiden repeated. “Ladies, back to the Sallys. From this point on, we’re rivals. Boys, get dressed, eat, and meet up behind the bunks.”

Palmer, Mai, and I dragged ourselves out of our shared beds and wandered over to the Sallys’ bunk. In there, Leighton was shouting the same thing at the bleary-eyed girls.

I saved her the trouble and started getting ready. I was the first one in the main house cooking my breakfast.

Sofia came in and hugged me from behind. “How much do you love me?”

“Enough to make you an egg sandwich.”

“You’re the best.”

Sofia sat at the farmhouse table and plopped her head down.

I cooked me, her, and Ezra a quick breakfast while the other girls streamed in. He deserved it after having his sex fantasy dashed last night.

“Eat quickly,” said Leighton. “We’re doing warm-ups on the front lawn and then we’ll get started.”

I finished plating our food and moved over so the other girls could get in. Sofia raised her head to tear into her sandwich.

“How exactly are we doing this?” I asked Leighton. “I took a look at the course. Do we really have to complete that whole thing?”

“If we want to win, yes.”

“So, if the most girls finish first, we get the cruise,” Blair said. “Sounds easy enough.”

Leighton swung her leg over the bench and joined us. Sofia handed her one of her sandwiches which she accepted with a thank you.

“You’ll go two at a time,” Leighton said. “One guy, one girl. If a Sally gets through the course first, it’s one point for us. Doesn’t matter how many times you fall on your ass. You just need to finish. It’ll take a while to get through all of us, but afterward, the real fun starts. We’ve got music, a cooler full of beers, and marshmallows for s’mores. Do me proud and then we’ll celebrate.”

“Are you doing the course too?”

“Everyone is. The Sallys are in this together.”

We finished our breakfast with renewed vigor. The Sams tromped in as we headed out and I snuck Ezra a kiss for good luck.

“The first kiss in the many it will take to make it up to me.”

I grinned. “Does breakfast bring me closer?”

“It’s a start.”

“Come on, Val.” Blair grabbed my hand and pulled me the rest of the way.

The Sallys gathered next to the water trough. By now, I knew the routine. We stretched and then launched into our jumping jacks, getting our hearts pumping.

The sun rose on the course, lighting up the morning dew blanketing the field like frost. Some of the boys and girls shuffled tiredly about. The same could not be said for the brothers and sisters. They formed neat lines in front of Aiden and Leighton—backs straight and hands clasped behind them.

Aiden handed Leighton a clipboard. As he leaned in, he held his board in front of his mouth and whispered something to her.

“Listen up,” she said, drawing back. “By now you know how it works.
