River says something, and she’s laughing, that full-body, head-thrown-back laugh she does, exuding a freedom I’ve never felt. When I first saw how Alex interacted with Misty, I’d been livid. They had an easy, relaxed, almost intimate relationship that I mistook for something more than it was. I was jealous enough. I went as far as blocking him from becoming captain until I’d realized he’d been in a secret relationship with River and Mia. Misty had been nervous when she told me about them, assuming I’d be pissed if it created a scandal. But I’d been thrilled.
U a real loser huh
