setting giving a light glow on the beach. Someone had already started a bonfire. People were dancing around it to some music set up on a picnic table, where there were also refreshments.

โ€œInvitation?โ€ Some stocky guys came up to us. They were wearing football jerseys and they looked a little depressed.

Veronica handed him the card. He stamped our hands both with ink and moved to the next crowd behind us.

โ€œThat job must suck. Stamping hands all night.โ€ Veronica announced too loudly that the guys turned to stare at us.

โ€œWonder how they got that punishment?โ€

โ€œWho cares, as long itโ€™s not us.โ€ She grabbed my hand and pulled me to stand next to the refreshments. She handed me a drink and we cheered.

โ€œThis isnโ€™t alcohol, is it?โ€ I sniffed the cup.

โ€œGood friends donโ€™t let their friends drink. Especially, when they are my back up driver. Thatโ€™s Coke, and I am only having one drink.โ€ She took a long sip from her cup.

I rolled my eyes and took a drink from mine. I watched the waves crashing the shore, and the sky was beginning to change colors. I began to curl my toes in the sand, in a massaging kind of way. Warm and soothing just like the air around here. It was calming.

Veronica nudged my shoulder.

โ€œWhat?โ€

โ€œThat guy over there is checking you out.โ€ She pointed at a group of guys on the other side of the bonfire. One was staring in our direction.

โ€œHe could be checking any of us out. Or the fire.โ€

โ€œNope, he is definitely trying to catch your attention. Looking at you every few seconds.โ€

โ€œWill you stop encouraging him? Heโ€™s probably wondering why youโ€™re staring at him.โ€

I moved my attention on the people messing around on the shore, getting their feet wet.

โ€œHeโ€™s coming over.โ€ Veronica whispered.

โ€œLetโ€™s move.โ€ I grabbed her arm.

โ€œNo, itโ€™s too late, you will hurt his feelings.โ€

It was too late. His shadow took over ours and he tapped my shoulder. I turned around.

โ€œWould you like a dance?โ€
