Page 104 of When The Rain Falls

“She’s cool.” Vivian’s gaze doesn’t falter from her textbook.

“Yeah,” I say. “She’s cool.” She’s very cool.

“So.” I lean against the counter and cross my legs. “Want to go outside and shoot hoops before dinner?”

Vivian’s attention snaps up from her book. “Wait. Seriously?” she asks.

“Yeah, sure,” I say. “Just gotta change.”

Vivian’s eyes widen and she flashes a giant mouth full of braces at me as she slams her book shut. “Meet you outside!”

Finn

Hey, darling. Thanks for dinner.

Aimee

Don’t burn it.

Finn

Come on. It’s me.

Aimee

Point made.

Finn

Brat. You want to come over later?

Aimee

Alicia and I are having girls night! I’m two glasses in. I’m trying not to brag about how good you are with your tongue.

Finn

Aimee. Christ. You better not. I have to see your sister at PTA meetings.

Aimee

I know. That’s why I’m talking about your penis instead.

Finn

Aimee!…You better be saying something good.

Aimee

Kidding. Or am I? *Winky face emoji*

Finn

Come here and let me put you over my lap.

Aimee

Tempting…I might be able to stop by later.
