"HEY, DO YOU remember—" Kiara begins from where she floats on her surfboard across from John B. She glances on shore where Daphne's applying sunscreen, pulling her eyes away almost immediately. Right now, the water is calm, but they're expecting to get more waves later, which makes it the perfect time of day to surf. It's not treasure hunting weather, but it is surfing weather. "—when you kissed me?"
"Yeah," John B stammers out awkwardly after pausing for a moment. "Yeah, I remember."
Pressing her lips together, Kiara ponders a way to phrase her question without sounding worried or weirding out John B. Pushing out a breath, Kiara keeps her face as blank as she can. "Did you tell Daphne?" she asks, picking at one of the many bracelets she wears.
"Um . . . no, I didn't," John B replies, shrugging uncomfortably as he looks over at his sister. "Not really her business . . ." He turns his head to look back at Kiara. ". . . why do you ask?"
Blinking a bit in surprise at John B's question, Kiara finds that she's not so sure why she asked him in the first place. "Just wondering. It's not . . ."
"Hey! Save some waves for us!"
Clearing her throat, Kiara looks down at her board, eyes briefly meeting John B's. She tries her best to ignore his confused expression and turns to face JJ and Pope who now jump into the water with their own surfboards. "Hey, where you been?"

THE NEXT DAY, while Daphne is at work, she receives a text from JJ saying that they have to wait for the right weather before they go out to look for the gold with the drone. It sucks, having to wait around, but she knows it'll pay off eventually, it has to. Otherwise all of this is for nothing, and they all go back to their shitty lives, which doesn't feel like a viable option at this point.
Daphne pretty much does nothing with her day, so when her friends randomly show up at her house, she wonders if it's time to leave. Only, it's not them asking her to come find the gold with, it's just JJ asking her to come smoke with them. So, here she sits now, beside Kiara in the hammock, head resting on her shoulder as she gazes up at the stars. In the dark, no one can see how closely they sit, and Daphne soaks up the feeling.
