The bar is full for 5p.m., even though it's a Saturday. The noise carries, clattering glasses and chattering couples. It's mostly locals, Belly notes, the Spanish too quick for her to understand, but clear enough to recognise. An arm wraps around her, and Taylor squeals.

"Cam Cameron!"

"Miss Swift!"

"She's a doctor now, actually." Taylor pokes his cheek.

"But you aren't." He sticks his tongue out in return.

Behind him, Shayla appears, rolling her eyes and carrying a tray of drinks, which she puts to the side to wrap up Belly in a hug.

"Hi, Isabel."

"Hey, Shay."

Once they'd all hugged, Shayla grins and turns back to the drinks, fresh Corona beers, with a plate of lime wedges in the middle.

"You put the wedge in the neck and they go all fizzy!"

"Shay, you've never done that before?" Taylor laughs.

"Sorry we aren't all as worldly as you."

"Nice way to call her a slut."

"Cam!"

"Alright, who'd you learn it from then?"

"A girl she met on Spring Break." Belly answers, repressing a grin as Taylor turns to hit her.

They all break out laughing, and reach for the limes, dropping them into the necks of the bottles fixated by the fizz they cause. Belly takes a sip and scrunches her nose.

"No better than regular beer." Cam frowns.

"A little," Belly offers Shayla.

"Yeah." Shayla sighs, unappeased.

Taylor shrugs.

"I'm being worldly." She says.

"Right, worldly." Cam snorts, earning a punch from her.

"Tay, didn't you say beer was like eating a loaf of bread?" Belly teases.

"Yeah, a whole one! But now I'm being worldly."

"You're just drinking it because that's what the girl at the bar's having." Shay laughs.

Tay flips them off, and necks the bottle, and they all start to cheer and join in — making exaggerated faces of disgust between gulps.
