She couldn’t do it. She couldn’t spend...
She couldn’t do it. She couldn’t spend another summer this way. It would drive her insane. She would make up some excuse- emergency hours at Youvenirs, a cholera outbreak. Whatever it took. She pulled out the pot of apple lip balm from her pocket. It was nearly empty, but she hadn’t bothered to buy more. It was too embarrassing to remember the things she’d let herself think when she’d paid for it.
Eli snatched it from her palm and hurled it into the darkness, into the lake.
“Hey!” Gracie protested. “Why would you do that?”
He took a deep breath. His shoulders lifted, fell. “Because I’ve spent nine months thinking of apples.”
