**Chapter 8 — Sealing the Deal**
At home we put our swimwear in the laundry, then sit down for dinner. Afterwards, Mom and Dad plop down on the couch to watch a movie on TV. Bo and I say our goodnights and retreat upstairs.
“I’m gonna be on my computer,” I tell Bo when we get to my room.
“Are you really?” Bo asks, sounding a little crestfallen.
“Why, what do *you* wanna do?” I ask her, grinning.
“Um. I think you know,” she says meekly.
I shrug. “Clueless.”
“Can we, um, cuddle?” Bo asks awkwardly.
“Your bed or mine?”
“Yaaaay!” she exclaims, beaming. “Mine.”
“Okay.” I grin. “Gonna be right over. Let me change into my pyjamas.”
“Oh, right. See you in a minute!”
She goes into her room, leaving the door ajar. I change into my pyjamas while Bo does the same. I can hear the fluffing of her blanket as she crawls into bed. “Come on over,” she calls.
