Without stopping to overthink it, she pulled a noorried Suzy up to the sign advertising parasailing before it hit her "I didn’t bring any money!" Maybe it was divine intervention, but she didn’t want to stop now She had been deter her fears win
Suzy looked at her disappointed expression before cursing under her breath In a awk, Suzy stuck a hand into her swiret this, but if you’re all set to go for it, then I’ve got your back" The poor guy seeue as he took the hundred-dollar bill froet it together enough to return her change, he motioned for one of the thankfully older men on the beach to help them into the boat
One man drove the boat while the other hooked theht deck Thethe equip a hydraulic winch Ava was relieved to know that they wouldn’t suddenly catapult into the water When the winch started to launch them into the air, she felt her stomach drop to her feet "Oh my God, why did I let you talk me into this?" she screaround! I told you that we’d take baby steps today Thatthis shit, but not actually do it!" Suddenly, they both looked down, realizing that the boat was now only a small speck in the distance "Oh, holy fuck-a- my pants? Well, it may just happen this ti Suzy curse and toss out threats along with the adrenaline rush of doing soh to make her snap Instead of the panic that she would nor Tears rolled down her face, and she could barely breathe, but she only laughed harder She had well and truly lost her ood way She threw her hands up into the air and started to squeal between bouts of hter "Ahhh, yayyy!" she screamed over and over After a fewher crazy yells and turned to see Suzy doing so like idiots

Suzy gave a sainst the boat seat "Ur--yeah, I’m afraid ill"
After that, they took a leisurely walk on the beach, laughing over how crazy they had sounded before heading back toward Suzy’s house Ava had expected to see Mac there and was disappointed when Gray said that he had already left
At Suzy’s insistence, she left her swimsuit on but borrowed a T-shirt to throw on over it It did see on the beach It wasn’t exactly sexy lingerie, but still she hoped that Mac would like it

Mac’s concentration had gone out theafter that He was only half listening to Gray’s questions about an alar her neck and drowning in the freaking Atlantic Ocean It had taken everything he had not to leave Gray standing there while he marched down the beach and threw Ava over his shoulder He thought he deserved a fuckingthat much self-control
He had wanted to ask Gray hoas that he didn’t seeured that being ht the other man some patience Mac had always heard that a smart person picked his battles, and s with his wife Mac, though, obviously wasn’t that intelligent, because he was pissed and ready to start an out-and-out ith Ava theshe ht, which was about fifteen minutes from now

As he continued to seethe, he heard the un door That had better be her He truly pitied anyone else who believed this h the sideand gliulped as he noticed she wore nothing but a shirt that leftuncovered Oh, shit He threw the door open, noting her surprised expression as her finger hovered over the doorbell Without a word, he took her hand and pulled her inside the darkened entrywayand that was as far as they made it
