“She’s right,” Kat agreed. “Those ‘Take Me!’ articles always have fun video clips.”

Julia already had plenty of stock photos from the PR packet the resort had emailed her prior to her arrival, but video footage was a component of her review that she’d put on the back burner to figure out later. When was she going to learn that doing that was how she always got burned? It was already the middle of the week; she was running out of “later.” “I’ll look into it.”

“You’ve been a bit distracted, huh?” Andie teased. She’d flipped over and was now nose to the floor, doing push-ups.

“Yeah, she finally took our advice to have fun.” Kat grinned and joined Julia on the chaise.

Julia scooted over. “I’ve been having a little fun,” she admitted, feeling a twinge of guilt. So far, she’d spent way more time thinking about Luke than focusing on writing the review.

“Was that a little bit of kissing I saw happening on the beach yesterday?” Kat asked.

Julia flushed. “I’m surprised you noticed,” she shot back.

“I’m an excellent multitasker.” Kat grinned, eyes gleaming with wicked innuendo.

“You both put on quite a show,” Andie snorted. She rolled to her side. “Are either of you planning for a repeat performance this afternoon?” she asked, foot flying up and down in a series of leg lifts.

“What’s this afternoon?” Julia wondered. She was having a hard time keeping track of what day it was, let alone what activities were next on the schedule.

Andie rolled to her other side. “Don’t you remember what you signed up for?”

“Not really.” Julia shook her head. “You were rushing me to finish the itinerary. I picked my own bonus activity, but for everything else I just circled the same stuff you two did.”

“Today we’re having a beach party!” Kat cheered.

Julia frowned. “We just spent the afternoon on the beach yesterday though.”

“This is different,” Kat assured her. “There’s going to be volleyball and windsurfing and—”

“A sand castle contest,” Andie added.

“Sand castles.” Julia’s lip curled. “Really?”

“It’ll be fun.”

Julia eyed her friend, currently balanced on her elbows and toes in a plank position. “I’m beginning to think you and I have a very different definition of that word.”

“It’s a beautiful day. You don’t even have to help build a sand castle,” Andie promised. “You can just lay out in your swimsuit on the beach and relax.”

“But I didn’t pack a swimsuit.”

“Who goes to a lakeshore resort in June and doesn’t pack a swimsuit?” Kat wondered.

“Someone who doesn’t plan to go swimming in the lake.” Julia crossed her arms.

“I packed two.” Kat beamed. “You can borrow one of mine.”

“And I bet we can find a certain someone to keep you company.” Andie winked.
