Our walk on the beach lasts about a good hour. Like predicted, the scenery got more beautiful the further we walked. We have soaked in a little sun at the beach, and after a little while, we reach a little forest where we were able to collect enough wood for tonights campfire. The others return shortly after us, and we all help to put the groceries away.

"Did you guys plan on staying a whole month?" I ask them with my mouth wide open, as I see how many more bags are stored in the car.

"You can't forget that we have three hungry boys with us" Sarah smiles at me, unloading yet another brown paper bag. 

"True" Bree chirps in from behind her. I chuckle along with them, and start unbagging everything in the kitchen. It takes us a while, but after we've finished, everyone freshens up and we get ready for the bonfire. 

"Man, I didn't bring my cardigan with me" I hear Bree whining from the room right next to me. The boys are downstairs, already starting the fire and I've decided to take a shower after the long day we already had. I chuckle to myself, before grabbing one of my cardigans. Making my way to next door, I see a messy Bree kneeling on the floor next to her bag. All of her clothes are scattered around the floor.

"Bree" I say, almost in disbelief. "What did you do?" I say, a laughter breaking out on my face. 

"Ugh, I forgot my cardigan and I wanted to wear it tonight" she says, almost a little dissolved.

"I brought you mine, you can borrow it" I say with sympathy. "Are you okay?" I add, trying to find out what's really wrong. 

Bree lets out a huge sigh, as she gratefully accepts my cardigan. "I don't know. It's all a bit much today, being back here. Somehow I feel weird about it. I didn't think I would" she says, more to herself than to me. 

"Do you want to talk about it?" I answer, placing myself right beside her. 

"I really appreciate it, but I don't think I'm ready" she says quietly, turning her full attention towards me now.

"Of course. But it doesn't have anything to do with Austin, right?" I ask her, knowing that everything between them seems to be amazing.

Bree shakes her head at me. "No, not right now. But that's something I have to think about too, a lot. Don't get me wrong, everything with Austin is great... but sometimes it scares me how good it actually is in such a short amount of time" she says, pouring her heart out to me.  "I love him, but I haven't had the guts to tell him yet. Is that weird? Maybe I'm scared because of my past, but... I don't know" she adds, getting up from the floor to sit on her bed. 

"That's not weird at all. I don't think I would've told Jace, if he wouldn't have done it first. And you're not alone, I feel the exact same way with him" I say, letting her know that she's not the only one with such feelings. 

"Yeah... isn't that just weird, how we found two people who seem to be so perfect for us? It's almost like I'm waiting for a bomb to drop" Bree sighs once more.
