Eventually, Annie, Grace, and Nick came back on shore to eat lunch and dry off. Grace blotted her hair with a towel and glared at my book’s cover. “Can you please put your man titty away? It’s giving me a headache.”

American Amour had a particularly bad cover: pink foil lettering and a long-haired, bare-chested, glistening leviathan on a horse. His nipples were the size of dessert plates.

“I can’t believe you read that crap,” Grace said.

“It’s not crap,” I said.

“Grace,” Annie warned her. “Come on.”

Grace shrugged. “Sorry. I just never liked that stuff. I always thought it’s not . . . decent.”

I didn’t know how having your boyfriend’s octopus tentacles up your hoo hoo in public was considered decent either, but I didn’t say anything. I didn’t want to have a confrontation. We were leaving tomorrow, I reminded myself. I could endure Grace for one day. (And then maybe murder her when we got to California.)

They finished eating and drying off, and we packed up our things; we took turns changing out of our bathing suits behind a rock. We climbed back into Grace’s car, and Nick drove us down rural back roads.

Out the window, a small plane flew overhead. I heard them all the time and I did this thing where I pretended it wasn’t happening; I didn’t listen; I focused on a country music song on the radio and shut the world out until it passed.

We drove by an open field, and Grace touched Nick’s arm and whispered to him. They turned a corner, and we drove for several miles until we reached a fence.

“Nick’s brother works here,” Grace said. Nick drove us past the gate. There they were, in the distance: tiny brightly colored planes, lined up like toys, with a larger prop plane behind them.
