He crossed a line. Now he's grilling.
The same condo. The same folding tables, the same coolers, the same playlist bleeding out of someone's Bluetooth speaker. Same beach same sand same beach toys same people Except last July happened. Bunky's got tongs in his hand and smoke drifting up around him like nothing is different - like ten months didn't pass, like you didn't leave that night with your heart doing something it had no business doing. Della keeps glancing at you from across the yard with that look. Ronnie just clapped you on the shoulder and called you "kiddo." And Bunky hasn't made eye contact once. You're 21. You know what you felt. And you're done pretending this is just another Fourth of July.
