“Ugh, he had candles?!” Andie swoons, clutching her hand to her chest. “Stop it!”

“You’re sure this is Maddox Kessler we’re talking about?” I ask dubiously.

Sloane grins, leaning back on her elbows and gazing up at the canopy of trees overhead dreamily. “I’m telling you guys, it was the sweetest thing. All of it was just so unexpected, it’s like we were seventeen again.”

“Ugh, I can’t,” Andie gushes.

“You sure this is the same Madd Kessler we all know?” I ask again, arching a brow. “Tall, tattooed, permanent frown on his face?”

Sloane barks a laugh, throwing a hand over to swat my arm. The three of us are lying side by side on the sandy bank of the swimming hole in the woods near the squad complex, drying off in the sun atop our towels after taking a dip. Avery declared that we needed girl time, so we all shirked our duties for the afternoon and hiked up here to indulge her. And speaking of Avery…

I sit up, shading the sun from my eyes with a hand as I glance up to the rocks jutting out from the top of the waterfall that streams into the swimming hole, where my crazy friend is currently climbing.

“You alright, Aves?” I call, watching as she pulls herself up onto a broad ledge, her tanned skin glistening with moisture.

She finds her footing, shooting to her feet triumphantly and pumping her arms over her head. “Never been better!” She proceeds to show off by doing a little dance, spinning around to shake her ass at us in her little pink bikini as I suck in a gasp.

“Be careful!” I scold, all too aware of how close her bare feet are to the edge of the rock.

Andie sits up beside me, laughing as Avery continues her dance, completely ignoring my warning. “You’re crazy, you know that?!” she hollers, pushing her heart-shaped sunglasses up the bridge of her nose as she watches her with a smile.

“No, you’re crazy for not coming up here with me, ya chicken shits!” Avery taunts, still prancing way too close to the edge for my liking.

I hold my breath as she readies herself to jump, Sloane offering to count her down.

“One… two…”

Before she even gets to three, Avery leaps from the ledge with a shout, tucking her legs up and doing a cannonball into the water below. We all shriek as we’re splashed with droplets of water and I throw up my hands to block the spray, peeking nervously between my fingers to make sure she resurfaces.

Avery sputters a cough as her head pops up out of the water, laughing with joy like she just experienced the thrill of her life.

Sloane chuckles, shaking her head as she turns to look at me. “How much you wanna bet she’s about to try to talk us into going back up there with her?”

“No way,” I declare adamantly.

“Aw, c’mon,” Andie urges, nudging me from my other side. “You could use some excitement in your life, Lolo!”

I whip around, narrowing my eyes on her.
