Grace opened up her shopping bag and began pulling out thin brown boxes that I recognized immediately. Eporner Steph leaned up to the driver and gave him our destination. “But, payback is a bitch!” With that, Amy grabbed Steph’s shoulders and pushed her under the water. I could feel their body heat neck to me, and their warm breath on my neck. As we waited for Amy to get back, Steph and I talked about our love of history, our other interests, and some of our dreams. We dropped our bags near the bed and I flopped face first down onto the large down comforter. As soon as they broke past the small waves of the Caribbean and hit the smooth waters of the cove, the wake flowing behind their kayak began to glow a pale blue. We took a seat with our backs against the cab of the truck and we were off as well.
