Dell: I called dibs, didn’t I?

I pinch his nipple and he laughs, “What?”

Robyn: Really?! Omg!

But before Dell can text back, she’s calling and he swipes open the video.

“Oh,” she smiles her head in a pillow. “I didn’t realize you were texting me from the scene itself.”

“Zay needed evidence that this wasn’t a dream.”

All three of us chuckle and Robyn beams, “How did it happen?”

“He packed us a picnic and we watched the sunrise.”

“You make it sound like I was planning this,” Dell says. “You’re the one who showed up with lube.”

I shrug.

“Shut up,” Robyn beams. “That's so romantic! My first time was on my high school boyfriend’s bunk bed. No top sheet, one sad pillow, two condoms. Of course I didn’t come, and it was over in less than a minute.”

Dell winces. “Ooof, that’s bad.”

“You guys look so happy. I miss you.”

“We miss you too,” I mumble into Dell’s chest and then look back at the screen. “How’s your trip?”

“Great. Been at the beach mostly. I’m glad we’re on the phone now, because… well, I’ve been talking to the girls about you, Zay.”

Itense. “What about?”

She swallows. “They were wondering if you’d like to come visit us while we’re on our trip. We realized we used to make this trip with Laura when she was our coach. I think it would give you a good chance to get to know everyone.”

“Really?”

“Yeah,” she smiles.

“I’d really like that.” Dell squeezes me a little tighter.

“Great!”

“When is our flight back to Philly?” I ask him.

“Tomorrow. Why don’t I just change your ticket to fly into Norfolk?”

“And I’ll pick you up,” Robyn adds.

“Are you sure?” I ask… both of them, I guess.

“Absolutely.”

“Yes!”

“Okay, but I don’t want to overstay my welcome. Maybe just for a night. Is there even a bed for me? Should I get a hotel room?”

“There’s an extra bed,” she says. “Just bring yourself.”

Dell smirks. “And I’ll make sure you’re in first class.”
