PAOLO BALCONY, SUNDAY, MARCH 1 Sunday morning, and Maya suggested that they all get up crazy early, rent some boards from the place on the beach, and go surfing. Paolo refused on account of hello, tennis, and he couldn’t afford to get injured. Lucy refused on account of it was lame, but she’d still watch. Candace and Grace were eager—they’d hardly ever tried surfing. But most of all, they were curious. Maya surfed? Who knew? In the end, Grace and Candace mostly wound up paddling on their boards and bodysurfing the waves, boogie-board style. Maya caught a couple of waves, which impressed them. But it was obvious that she was out of practice. Afterward, Maya bought the whole house breakfast burritos and a blueberry cheesecake to celebrate finishing the beta version of her app. It was already being downloaded at a healthy rate. Even though she wasn’t making much money from it, which puzzled Paolo, she seemed relieved and happy. The housemates all sat on the balcony, munching and drinking coffee.
