Chapter 7

“What’s that on your neck?” Amy asked with an amused twinkle in her eye.
Jeff had noticed the small hickey while he was shaving. It took a moment, but he eventually recalled Shelly sucking on his neck the night before when she was trying to be quiet. She probably didn’t even know she’d done it.
“Don’t ask.” Jeff felt his face heat and stepped out of the bathroom. “And please don’t tease Shelly about it.”
That sparked an even bigger grin from Amy. “Like you could stop me!”
He shook his head and sat on the bed to tie his running shoes. Mom had made a point about picking appropriate clothes for spending all day walking around in the sun. Jeff went with khaki cargo shorts and a tight blue t-shirt under an colorful Hawaiian shirt. He tugged the collar of the shirt higher to hide it from the rest of the family.
The plan was to meet Nessa and Shawna at the bus stop to ride over to the theme park together. Because they were all staying on property, they were allowed in the park an hour before the public. That was key to the strategy he and his cousins had worked out for hitting their favorite rides before the lines got too long.
