“Is your friend asleep?” the girl asked, following his gaze. “I saw you two running up to the ocean like you’d never seen it before.” She leaned in closer. “Where you from?”


Xavier chanced a look at her. “Uh, Montreal. Like, Canada.”

Same nasty weather, right?” She smiled and he saw that her two front teeth overlapped a little. “So, uh, what’s your name?”

“Hey, let me help you with that.” Heather grabbed the fries from him and nodded her head to Courtney. “Come on. You wanted to meet the blond. His name is Billy. Let’s go say hello.”
