I make Kaylee promise to be on her best behavior while the Bellamys are around. She rolls her eyes, but agrees to keep the booze stashed in the pool house until they go to bed. We spend the rest of the afternoon at the pool, eating chips and reading the People magazines Kaylee brought from Brooklyn. As expected, by the time I hear Emilia leave to go meet Tom, the sun is starting its dip toward the tree line. They must get dinner out, because by the time their cars pull back into the garage, it’s after ten, and they go straight up to the second floor.

When their light goes out, we make margaritas and splash around in the pool. I take a small sip, then a bigger one. Our drinks glow like neon Kool-Aid in the pool lights, and Kaylee calls them “belly-ring green.” I have to admit, I’m having a great time. My whole body feels warm and loose. It’s like I’m glowing.

“Have we been here before?” I ask when I’m two drinks in and my skin is buzzing with tequila and the warm night air. I don’t know why Kaylee would lie to me, but that girl Becca, and the way she seemed to know her way around town today …

“Like, in another life?” Kaylee giggles. “Sure, probably.”

“No, seriously.” I don’t know how to ask this without sounding profoundly uncool. Kaylee drinks as much as I do, more, but she never blacks out. She already thinks I’m a lightweight. “Herron Mills, the Hamptons. Did we ever come out here?”

“What, no.” Kaylee sets her cup down on the side of the pool. Her face is suddenly serious. “Why would you ask that?”

“Forget it,” I say. I dive under and swim toward Kaylee, wrap my arms around her legs underwater. She yelps as I drag her down with me, and we both come up gasping for air.
