I parked the Jeep on the grass next to Beach Road and got out. I could see the bonfire on the beach and hear the music and voices. I had to stop myself from knocking on every cabin’s door in search of her, so instead I walked towards the bonfire.
“Superstar!” Sam yelled as he saw me approach.
I smiled as he called me by my old nickname from school. We met halfway and we hugged briefly. She turned around and her hair glimmered blue in the light of the fire. I stopped breathing as I looked at her. Was it possible that she was even more beautiful than she had been that morning?
“Where’s your other half?” Gustav asked me as I sat down on a chair across from where she stood. She was on the other side of the fire, looking at me and I felt the s****l tension sizzling between us.
“Fairbanks.”
