CHAPTER ELEVEN

My suitcase was open on the bed. Racy, having spent the day re-cooperating from her hangover, hadn’t even begun to pack yet. Outside, the sun was setting on our last night in Curaçao.

“It’s our last night on the island,” Racy announced, stepping out of the bathroom. “What do you want to do?”

I looked over at my nearly empty suitcase. I’d over-packed for our vacation, not knowing what to expect from Curaçao, so luggage space had been tight. I now lamented having to repack. Experience told me dirty clothes tended to take up more space in the suitcase than clean ones.

“We should probably have an early night,” I reasoned. “We still have to pack.”

“But it’s our last night!” she complained. “Don’t you want one more adventure?”

I almost didn’t want to know what she had in mind, but I asked anyways. “Like what?” I questioned.

“Well, we still haven’t gone to the resort’s dance club.”

I felt my lip start to curl, but I halted the movement before my upper lip could lift too high. I was still angry with myself for telling Kate to go back to work. Maybe tonight I could redeem myself. “Okay. I’m game.”

Racy’s eyes widened. “Are you serious?”

“As long as we’re not out too late,” I qualified. “I don’t want to be overtired or hungover on our flight.”

“Have you ever been hungover a day in your life?” she challenged.

“Yes!” I defended myself. “I went to college, you know.”

“I know—but I more picture you spending Friday nights at the university library.”

I grimaced at the description. “That’s true. But there was also a lot of … experimenting … in my first year of college. Don’t forget that I was away from my hyper-religious parents for the first time.”

“Oooh,” she cooed. “Experimenting. Like what? Drugs?”

“No,” I was quick to reject. “Alcohol. And girls.”

“Oh, right!” Racy chuckled to herself. “Sometimes I forget you’re gay.”

“How is that even possible?” I wondered.

“Well, you don’t look the part,” she noted.

I arched an eyebrow. “Just because I wear skirts and have enough hair to put in a ponytail?”

“That—and you never talk about girls you like! I talk about men, like, all the time.”

“Oh, I know you do.”

She didn’t take offense to my mocking tone. “See! Even more reason why you should point out girls to me you wanna bang. It’ll be payback for all the times I’ve done that to you.”

I shook my head. “Let’s just get moving before I change my mind about tonight.”
