I scrubbed the dishes I had used to cook my lunch when a knock came at my door. I whipped my head over to the door as my heart slammed against my chest. The knock sounded again, and part of me hoped it was Gram coming back to see me, to talk with me about what had happened between us a couple days ago.

But part of me hoped it wasn’t him at all.

Part of me hoped I didn’t see him again while he was on vacation.

I put the dishes down and walked over to the door. I wiped at my forehead, feeling sweat trickling down the nape of my neck. I opened the door and saw Mandy standing there, smiling at me with a slushie in her hand.

“Figured you could use one of these on one of the hottest summer days on record,” she said.

“You’re a saint. Thank you,” I breathed.

I stepped off to the side and let her in before I closed the door behind her.

“So, you have today off. Right? Buttface McGrossPants hasn’t called you in?” Mandy asked.

I almost choked on my slushie. “What did you just call Tanner?”

“Buttface McGrossPants. I came up with it after drinking wine alone last night. Since someone ended up working late.”

“You can blame that on McGrossPants,” I said, grinning.

“So, want to have a girls’ day?”

“When the hell have you ever had to ask me that question?”

“Never. But I figured there’s a first time for everything,” she said, smiling.

“And speaking of first times…”

“Oh, do you already have a saucy story to tell me?” she asked.

“Let me get into another change of clothes that doesn’t stink of the shrimp I just ate, and I’ll fill you in.”

I quickly got changed into a little sundress and a bikini underneath. I brushed my hair out before wetting it a bit, letting it wave itself up like it did naturally. I slapped on some mascara and a bit of lip gloss, then grabbed my slushie and slipped on my flip-flops.

I walked back out to Mandy, and the two of us ventured out into Palm Beach, riding around in her beat-up convertible with the top down and the sun pouring over our shoulders.

“So, what’s this fun story you have for me?” Mandy asked.

“An old friend from my hometown came here yesterday,” I said.

“An old friend?” she asked.

“Yes, an old friend. His name’s Gram. Grew up just one street down from me.”

“A male friend?”

“Yes, Mandy. I do have those, you know.”

“I’m sorry. It’s just that… I don’t hear you talk much about your childhood growing up. If ever. So, it’s odd for me to hear you talk about it now,” she said.

“Well, the past needs to stay in the past where it belongs. But he came into town and walked into the shop the other day. It was a shock to my system, seeing as I hadn’t seen him in years.”

“How did the reunion go? Was it nice?”

“It was. We talked for a little while. We made Tanner jealous, which was a bonus.
