The head coach blows her whistle and Carter looks across the pool. “I gotta go.”

  “Okay, I made you a lunch, don’t forget.”

  “Great, babe.”

  He walks around the pool deck and is instantly surrounded by kids, all excited to see him again. The smile on his face is adorable. Everything about him is adorable.

  “Oh man, get that sappy look off your face,” Finley says, dropping her stuff on the ground.

  “Please, you’re one to talk,” I laugh and once again she flashes her enormous diamond, making it sparkle in the sun.

  She spreads out on her towel and places her sunglasses on her nose. “Is it weird for me to fantasize about Aqua-Man now that he’s your boyfriend?”

  “I don’t know,” I confess. “Is it weird that I’ve been trying to figure out how to screw him on the high dive? Because I’ve been puzzling over that one for a week.”

  “Is it mean that I’m not-so-secretly gleeful that Bikini Mom looks like she’s about to come over here and stab your eyes out with her super-sharp fake nails?”

  We both laugh and I lean my head back, enjoying the first rays of summer. Finley opens a magazine and reads the interesting parts out loud. I nix her idea of a bikini-themed wedding so she can have Carter be ring-bearer and carry the ring down shirtless. On the other hand, I do approve of a beach wedding.

  Carter at the ocean is just one thing I have to look forward to.

  I’ve just gotten that warm, toasty feeling from the sun when I hear the familiar coil and release of a giant spring. I open my eyes just in time to see Carter flying through the air, elegant and precise until he shifts at the last second into a tight ball. Aqua-Man lands with a boom, sending showers of water across the pool deck, marking his territory the only way he knows how, covering me in rain.
