| wiped the sweat from my forehead with the back of my hand, my muscles aching in that satisfying way after a
solid practice session. The locker room smelled like sweat and stale air, but | barely noticed anymore. Football

What did matter, though, was the message lighting up my phone screen.
Jess: Of course! Asha would love it. It's such a great experience for them! Relief washed over me.
Asha was going on that survival camp trip with her niece and nephew, something that promised to be "an

brought it to my ear as | walked toward the parking lot.
She answered on the second ring. "Hey, you."
"Hey," | said, already feeling lighter just hearing her voice. "Good news-I got Asha's trip confirmed. She's going
with Jess and the kids."
"That's amazing," Vivien said, and | could hear the smile in her voice. "That means..."
"That means next week, we're gonna be on a beach somewhere."
She let out a happy little sound that made my chest warm. "No cell reception?"
"None," | confirmed, unlocking my car. "Just sand, water, and whatever fruity drinks you forceto try."
