The Bet

By T W Amaryllis

The five of us used to do everything together. My sister, Bridget and James the high school love story. Patrick the suave baseball player, Sean the mess up and me, the silent artist. That's how it was until graduation night when Patrick shattered my heart. I left town the next day swearing I would never come back. Then Bridget and James got engaged. Now I'm back playing nice with Patrick even after he murdered a frog on my porch. But every touch is laced with fire. Every look is electric. And every memory is tainted. I just have to get through a week at the cabins, Bridget's request to reconnect before the wedding, then I'm home free. But what do I do when I don't want to leave?

Cassy Bingham has been living in my head rent free for eight years. Ever since I left her on that boat like the idiot teenager I was. The first time I see her she's angry, the second time she's furious. Then again I did throw that frog at the wall. She's angry and I don't blame her one bit but I'm angry too. She never reached out, she never came home, and now that she's here I can't keep my mind or my hands off of her. Everything is amazing except for the weight bearing down on my shoulders. What happens if she finds out the whole reason I left her on that boat eight years ago is because of a bet?
