DAY 1: Thursday—Three days before July Fourth
I t isn’t supposed to rain in paradise.
At least, that’s what the sign said when we turned off the highway and
onto the rickety, two-lane bridge moments ago. It was painted a bright
tropical yellow and read, “Palm Key Island: it’s always sunny here!”
Naturally, the “i” was dotted with an orange.
As I watch the rain fall from my cramped middle seat in the back of the
SUV—the absolute worst spot in the car, of course—I tell myself it’s just one
of those quick summer showers we get in Florida. It won’t last long. They
never do. But when we pull up to the driveway of our rental home for the
weekend and the rain still hasn’t stopped, I start to worry.
We all hop out of the car and I eye the dark, ominous clouds with
growing concern. The five of us hold jackets and sweatshirts over our heads
and rush to grab luggage from the cargo area of Cam and Val’s brand-new
Range Rover. It’s just one of the lavish gifts the twins received from their
parents at graduation a few weeks ago.
“Just a little rain, everybody,” Cam says next to me, overly cheery as
usual. She runs a hand through her dark sleek bob, pushing glossy hair off her
face and behind pearl-studded ears. “It’ll clear up any minute.”
“You sure?” I ask, dodging raindrops.
“Yes, Riley. I’m sure,” she says, laughing as she elbows me lightly in the
ribs. She surveys the rental house with a pleased expression on her pretty
face. “Look! It’s perfect—just like I said it’d be!”
Other than the pesky drizzle, I have to admit she’s right. It looks way
better than I expected. For starters, the two-story house is much larger in
person than it was in the photos. Elegant and charming, it even has a big
wraparound veranda and two dreamy, towering columns that make it seem
like something off the cover of a romance novel. A row of palm trees on
either side of us catches the late afternoon breeze, green leafy fronds gently
blowing back and forth. The unmistakable salty scent of the ocean wafts in
my direction.
When Cam first told me about the summer rental, I’d been suspicious.
We were still dressed in our orange and blue Bishop Lake Preparatory High
School graduation gowns when she pulled out the rental agreement from her
shiny white Gucci tote. Another graduation gift. Val got one too, although
hers was fire-engine red, her “signature” color.
