Page 8 of Burning for May

June:

Oh my God, negative May is back.

April:

Stop it, no negativity until you get all the details, okay?

I grin. That’s classic June and April.

June:

I swear, May, if you pass up a beach house because you think it’s “too good to be true,” I’m gonna fly out there and drag you to the front door myself.

April:

She’s right, May. You’ve wanted this forever. At least check it out.

June:

Also, on a totally unrelated note, I’m officially over seeing soccer players half-naked in the locker room every day. Seriously, I need a new job.

April:

Oh my God, June, you are so dramatic. You’re living every girl’s dream, and you’re whining about it.

June:

I’m not kidding. Last week, one of them had his towel “accidentally” slip off while I was in there. It’s like, dude, can you NOT??

April:

Uh-huh, sure, tragic. I’m crying for you.

June:

I’m gonna come to California and slap you.

April:

Bring it.

I laugh, the tension easing out of my chest. My sisters always know how to distract me.

Then, right on cue, my email dings.
