I’ll share my life with the sea: the one thing that isn’t going anywhere and has never failed me. The one thing I can’t destroy by being in it—the one thing I can save by being there and documenting life. This series I’m makingismy love letter to the ocean.
Dad doesn’t ask how I’m doing or how things are, nor does he mention Lexi or her case his firm is working on. I’m still thinking about how to reply to him when Evan pops into my chat box.
Evan
Bro! You’re online!
I laugh.
Me
Yeah. Have the afternoon open for once.
It’s morning on that side of the world, and I bet Evan just got back from his run.
Evan
How are things going with your filming?
Me
Great. Will be able to wrap up before we leave.
Evan
And Lexi?
Me
She’s fine. No complaints.
Evan doesn’t need to know I’m planning to make her moan for all the right reasons this evening.
Evan
You two aren’t butting heads?
Me
Nope. All’s good.
We might be up to other things, but I’ll just leave it at that.
Evan
Heads up. Word is out that Mia Reed’s video has dropped on several porn sites. I’ll track it down and let you know where to look.
Fuck.
Me
You haven’t seen it?
Evan
Nope. It’ll do the rounds soon enough. They might have edited Lexi out. Or not. Either way, look out for her, will you? She’s going to be upset.
