Sunset had just fallen around them and there was already a huge bonfire in the middle of a group of people that Victoria recognized from high school. She had told Brighton to meet her at the beach. It didn’t matter how old you were, it was still awkward when a guy met your parents for the first time. And she wasn’t quite sure how they would react since she hadn’t brought anyone home in so long.
The music was pumping through speakers attached to someone’s car and no one even really seemed to notice Victoria and Claire’s presence. It wasn’t how she envisioned coming home but she appreciated that no one questioned her about Levi or what she was doing now. She called her sister to tell her that she was going to the party but Fallon was away for the weekend with her husband Drew. Fallon had mentioned that things were tense between the two of them and Victoria guessed that this was supposed to be some type of romantic rekindling of their love. She didn’t really care.
