The ocean breeze swept inside the open doors, bringing the comforting scent of salt and Carter's cooking. The sun fully dipped on the horizon, casting a bright darkness over the beach house. The table was a masterpiece of casual effort: candles in mismatched holders flickered in the warm evening air, and colorful plates piled with food promised we'd be full for days.
KYLER: I stood, glass in hand, and cleared my throat playfully. "Okay, before we dive in..."
Everyone looked up, a mix of amusement and curiosity on their faces. Stass nudged me under the table, her way of saying, You've got this. Kels raised an eyebrow like she was daring me to get sappy. Vic is already smirking, probably thinking up a jab to throw my way.
KYLER: "I just want to say thank you." I started, glancing at each of them. "Life's been...a lot lately. Stressful. Exhausting. All the emotions. But you guys? You were able to drag me out here, made me breathe, even if Vic's playlist has added a bit more stress."
VIC: Vic gaped, clutching her chest. "Excuse me, my music is a gift. You're too uptight to appreciate the classics."
KYLER: "Oh, is 'Dancing Queen' blasting at full volume every day a classic now?" I shot back, grinning.
VIC: "YES!" She retorted, and everyone laughed, Olivia shaking her head.
KYLER: I raised a hand to get their attention again. "But seriously. Kels, Stass, you two are amazing. Thank you for putting this together on such short notice and being, you know...the best friends I could ask for."
KELS: "You're welcome for keeping your life together." Kels grinned.
STASS: Stass smiled at me, her hand brushing mine under the table. "Anytime, baby boy."
KYLER: I raised my glass. "To us, to this, and to forgetting about real life for a little."
"TO US!" They all echoed, clinking glasses with a satisfying chorus of cheers.
Dinner began in a blur of laughter and flavor. Carter had outdone himself with the jerk shrimp, his grin smug as we all praised the seasoning. Kels piled more food onto my plate while Sydney narrated the disasters Carter avoided in the kitchen.
SYDNEY: "He nearly burned the garlic bread." Sydney announced, earning groans from around the table.
CARTER: "But I didn't!" Carter protested, holding up his hands.
OLIVIA: "Yeah, I had to save it." Olivia chimed in, her tone teasing.
CARTER: "OKAY!" Carter said, laughing. "How about we focus on how perfect it turned out?"
VIC: Vic leaned forward from across the table. "Hey, Kyler, are you gonna let Stass feed you, or are you saving that for dessert?"
The table exploded with laughter, Stass and Kels included.
