I rub my hands together as I think, looking around the room at all the instruments. [color=#9B111E]“The pianoforte please.”[/color] I finally chirp. Luci hops into my lap and starts purring as soon as I touch her. Mika decides to follow Caden and wrap around his leg.

[color=F7941D]“I still didn’t like it.”[/color] I tell her honestly, just holding her for a moment. I know my pants are starting to get wet from hers, but I don’t mind. I can’t explain it, but the vibes around the fountain have shifted - the atmosphere more pleasant and inviting. I briefly wonder if it’s just placebo or if I’m actually noticing a difference. 

I kiss the top of Cass’ head[color=F7941D]“You’re absolutely amazing, by the way.”[/color]

Once I’m safe in my room and the door is locked, I put my head in my hands and groan. I can’t get Avery out of my mind - can’t stop the image of him staring at my legs out of my head. There’s no way he was checking me out, right? My face flushes all over again as I hop into my shower to rinse off the pool water from my swim suit and body. 

I lean my forehead against the shower wall and breathe deeply as now Caden’s words replay. [i]Would you like my blessing?[/i] [color=FFF79A]“Fucking shithead.”[/color] I mumble to myself before getting out and putting a robe on. I flop onto my bed, suddenly too focused on images of Avery to do anything else.
