Ginny felt like what happened at the beach with Pierre was a fever dream. She kept pinching herself on the car ride home and wondered if somehow she was asleep? Was this actually happening? Did Pierre really want to be with her? She couldn't get him off her mind and she really couldn't stop thinking about how his lips had felt against her bare skin.

She wanted more, more, more.

The fact Pierre decided to sit beside her in the backseat didn't help either- brushing his fingertips across hers and nonchalantly letting his palm trace down her thigh. She had to fight the blush on her cheeks, especially with Chloe sitting on the other side and Mad Max in the back.

It didn't matter if his eyes were only on the one he let get away... he could see... any of them could possibly see... and Ginny wasn't sure if she was ready for that. She wasn't sure if Pierre was ready for that. The two of them had just confessed. They needed to figure everything out and were they boyfriend and girlfriend or-

"Ginny." Chloe nudged her in the ribs. "Did you hear what I just said?"

"What?" Ginny turned to her best friend, eyebrows creased in confusion. "Sorry, no. I zoned out."

"Of course you did." Pierre whispered in her ear, before slipping out the passenger door.

Ginny glanced over her shoulder at him with a narrow gaze, mentally cursing him for having such an effect on her soul. She spotted the Gasly manor beyond the spiked gates and realized they had arrived.

Timothée was gathering his stuff from the trunk and Pierre had already winked at her, making his way to the security guard who was a longtime family friend.
Ginny forced herself around and tugged on a bright smile for her friend, hoping it would cover-up whatever weird energy was in the air.

She knew, without a doubt, Chloe would be the first one to pick up on something like that... a change in aura... change of heart... change of crush.

"I said..." Chloe gripped onto Ginny's forearm, bringing her in for a secret message. She lowered her voice so Max and Charles couldn't hear- but they were both preoccupied on their phones. "You and Pie Face are acting real buddy-buddy."

"Please." Ginny scoffed, waving a dismissive hand. She looked at Chloe, whose hair was salty and curled from the heat and ocean water, and gulped down a cyst of a lie. "He's just in a good mood that's all."

"You must think I'm dumb." Chloe raised one of her fiercely thin eyebrows, cocking her head to the side with attitude. Her yellowish-brown eyes glittered with curiosity whilst she pulled Ginny in for a hug- even though it was actually a disguise in plain sight. "Je vous ai vus tous les deux entrer dans la grotte."
