"SHE pushed his hand off," Dani grumbled, shaking her head.
"Damn," Lily muttered while eating a Twizzler. They were up in the caravan as they waited for the next storm.
The girls were scrolling through TikTok, looking at all the posts about Baby and Tyler. The live ended not four hours ago, and already, they were coming across people being upset over the little moment.
"This one is dramatic," Dani said, nodding in approval at a video of Tyler and Baby set to Conan Gray's The Exit. "And this is great for our views."
"Sure it is," Lily snickered. "So, you think something happened or that was just Baby trying to be brave as a fuck you to the UCLA crowd?"
Dani shrugged, knowing she would probably never know for certain. "Bit of both? We'll probably get a better idea after we see how they keep reacting to each other."
"Well, regardless, if something happened good or bad, Boone's gonna flip when he finds out," Lily said, shaking her head.
"And I'll be there," Dani said, "filming it for the channel."
"For the views?"

Baby was a staunch anti-smoker, but Jesus Christ, Tyler Owens made her want a cigarette. Because he was stressing her out, making her feel anxious with his eyes always in her. And he was just always there — at mealtimes and at the truck stop and in the motel room right next to hers because the manager must've hated her.
God, even now, she could hear his goddamn TV through the wall, reminding her that he was just there, doing nothing incriminating unless you counted enjoying Friends illegal. With an annoyed groan, she let herself out of her room, wrapped up in one of Boone's sweatshirts as she stood outside.
Only to come across Javi, who seemed to be wanting alone outside time as well despite the late hour.
"Oh, hey, Baby," he said, looking up at her. The frown on his face instantly faded away for the only Wrangler that had been nice to him in their four days of working in close contact.
"Hi, Javi," she said, smiling back at him. She came to his side, leaning against the railing of their second floor landing. "Can't sleep?"
