-Ava's POV-

I stared at Isabella, waiting for her to admit she was joking but the grin on her face only grew, eyes shining with excitement.

Eliza sighed beside me, arms folded, "Alright, let's hear it. What do you mean we're going to prison?"

Isabella clapped her hands, "Not real prison, obviously. But we're going to do something a little reckless, a little fun. Something that'll get our hearts racing."

"Bels, I'm pregnant," I reminded her.

She waved that off, "Which is why nothing we do will be actually dangerous. Just... things that could get us into minor trouble. Nothing life-threatening. Nothing stupid. Just a little chaos for the soul."

Eliza rubbed her temples. "I already regret agreeing to this."

I sighed, glancing between the two of them. And yet, deep down, I knew Isabella

was right. I did need something to take my mind off everything. Lately, I'd been drowning in grief and pretending I was fine. Maybe this was exactly what I needed- something ridiculous, something unexpected, something that would remind me I was still alive.

"Fine," I said, crossing my arms, "What's first?"

Isabella beamed. "Oh, you are going to love this."

I did not love it.

Because somehow, somehow, we ended up at a bakery with an entire chocolate cake in front of us.

"No forks," Isabella declared, sliding into a seat at the outdoor patio.

I blinked at her, "Excuse me?"

She grinned, "We eat it with our hands."

Eliza scoffed. "That's not illegal."

"No, but it is frowned upon," Isabella wiggled her eyebrows, "and it's on the list."

I groaned. "You made a list?"

"Of course I made a list."

I sighed, looking down at the cake. It did look good. And honestly, after the week

I'd had, I wouldn't mind shoving my hands into it.

Eliza exhaled," can't believe I'm doing this."

Isabella grinned, "That's the spirit!"

And then, just like that, we dug in.

At first, it was a little awkward. But then Isabella smeared frosting across my cheek, and before I knew it, Eliza was laughing, I was laughing, and we were making an absolute mess.

It wasn't long before the bakery owner stormed out, hands on her hips, "Are you kidding me? What is three?"
