Nina

I walked down the street, taking in the fresh afternoon air. It was going to get even hotter today, and my pool at home was already calling to me.

I slipped my phone out of my pocket and texted Enzo: "Where are you at?"

"Sports shop," he replied a few moments later. "Needed some things."

I almost rolled my eyes, but couldn't help but smile. 'Needed some things,' he had said. I had been with him long enough to know that needed some things' was actually code for

"Hey," I replied, walking up to him. "It was actually pretty good. Sarah's great, and you won't believe what happened with that woman from yesterday."

As I recounted the cafe incident, Enzo's laughter mingled with mine. "Karma at its finest," he commented, shaking his head.
