LUKE

“Lucas.” A hand shook my shoulder. “Luke . . .”

My eyes flickered open, but I was convinced I was in a dream.

Sitting on the edge of my bed was the most gorgeous alarm clock I’d ever seen: Lacey. Unfortunately, searing pain in my skull brought me right back to reality. My hand slapped my head, and I lifted the covers back over my face. Lacey giggled as she pulled them back down.

“I brought you Aspirin and Pedialyte.”

I groaned. “I’m dying.”

“I figured.”

I sat up and took her hangover remedy. Last night hadn’t hit her as hard as me, as she appeared to be unfazed by the beers she’d had. There was no way I hadn’t doubled her intake. I was going to pay for it this morning.

“You’re up early.”

“Rachel and I got a spot on the beach. Justin went to get us some greasy sandwiches, but the traffic is already nuts.”

Greasy food sounded perfect, but it could wait. Lacey was practically in my bed right now. I set my beverage on the nightstand and looped one arm around her waist to pull her in closer.

She squealed and giggled but caved and curled herself into me.

Last night was a lot between her birthday and Tiffany hunting me down. I wanted her to know that I still had every intention of making today about her. Every single moment we had shared since her return had come to this day. I was so in love with her I couldn’t see straight, and last night was the first time she’d let her guard down to show me she was feeling the same.

As much as I wanted to see what was under the ensemble, I kept my hands where she could see them. We needed to talk before making any sort of move. I needed her to say out loud that she was feeling the same. And although Justin wanted me to tell her the truth about the day my mom left, I wasn’t ready, and neither was she. It would ruin her day.

“Happy birthday.”

“Thank you.”

If the door to the beach house hadn’t opened, I could have stayed right where we were all day. Justin yelled about having breakfast on the beach and shut the door again. Lacey sighed, and while doing so, clutched me tighter. His timing was terrible.

“We’re going to talk today,” I told her.

Her smile was playful as she sat up. “About?”

She knew what it was about and had me mirroring her expression. I took it as a yes. We were definitely on the same page. I wanted to kiss her right now, and I was sure she’d let me. But if we didn’t get down to that beach, our friends were bound to show up looking for us.

“I suppose I could make time in my day to .
