I reach in, my fingers brushing nylon. But when I pull it out and actually see what’s in my hand, I nearly stop breathing.
“No,” I whisper in a panic. “No no no no no—absolutely not.”
Dangling from my fingers is not my modest, practical swimsuit.
It’s a red bikini. A strappy red bikini. So strappy it might as well come with instructions. The top is barely two triangles held together by dental floss. The bottoms are somehow worse. It’s almost…theoretical. The concept of a swimsuit, rather than an actual one.
I stare at it, horrified.
This hasLarkorMillerwritten all over it. Bold font. Underlined. They were the ones who helped me pack. Who offered to “lay everything out” for me. I hadn’t double-checked. A rookie mistake.
I hold the thing up between two fingers like it might bite me. I am going tomurderthem. Not figuratively. Full-on spoon-to-the-eye-sockets murder.
Just then, my phone buzzes—again—from the bed where I’d dropped it earlier. It’s been going off for the past five minutes, but I finally go check it.
