Mia walked on the beach all morning, thinking about the paperwork for her dress. Stepping back onto the estate’s deck, she washed her sandy feet off with the hose in the white ceramic pot and stomped them on the LW welcome mat. She looked through the glass French doors and saw Jill and Cole talking next to a large box from the store.

“Great,” she muttered to herself, then entered.

“Lyndon wants you to post a virtual July Fourth greeting card on the brand’s Instagram,” explained Jill. “There’s swimwear inside.” She patted the top of the box, then looked at Mia.

“You can keep your pick.”

Vincent entered, surveying his camera bag for lenses. “I have plans!” He looked at the group and rubbed his hands together excitedly. “First, I’m going to shoot a seasonaires’ pyramid on the beach.”

“Have fun.” Jill looked at Cole. “See ya.” She left.

Cole looked at Mia. “We need scissors or a knife, something sharp.”

“Yup,” replied Mia. “We do.”

Grant bounded in, seeing the box. “Swag! I want to open it!” He ripped the box open with his bare hands to find bikinis and board shorts in red, white, and blue. “Sweet!”

Presley, Jade, and J.P. entered. Presley went directly to the box.

“Ooh, treats.” She sifted through it and pulled out a string bikini top.

J.P. was reading his iPad. “Did you read the news about the MTV series?”

“I don’t need to read the news. I am the news.” Jade sat on the couch and threw her long legs over the arm.

“Oh, wow,” scoffed Mia.

“I didn’t mean it that way,” explained Jade. “My dad is doing an MTV series with Otto Hahn.”

“What?” Presley held the bikini top up to her chest in the mirror over the mantel.

“It starts filming next summer,” said Vincent, snapping close-ups of all the hands sifting through the styles.

“Lyndon can’t be very happy about that,” said Mia.

“No one is going to watch that garbage if it includes Wear National,” said Presley. “That name brings down everyone in association with it.”

“It’s a one-billion-dollar company,” said J.P. “Your personal opinion is not the collective opinion.”

“But mine is the only one that counts.” Presley pulled out a one-piece with red, white and blue crochet in the center.

Jade grabbed a two-piece. “My dad can’t be brought down.” She changed from her T-shirt into the bikini top right there. “He’s untouchable.”

“We have more appeal in one Instagram post than they’ll have in an entire TV series. Let’s show Lyndon we can sell it.” Presley turned to Mia, who was standing at the French doors, staring out at the beach. “Mia’s gonna sell it because she’s got the most skin in the game. She got her contract for the dress last night.”

Mia glared at Presley, who wore that pageant grin. There was only one way Presley could’ve known about the contract.

“That’s awesome, Mia.” Cole offered up a genuine smile. “Congratulations!”

Mia shifted her feet under all their gazes as she stood across the room, separate from them.

After they changed into the suits and made their way to the beach, they formed their pyramid.
