Georgia's POV
The drive to the ocean park took nearly an hour from the hotel, but Katie's excitement made it feel shorter. Even Ella seemed transformed; she was laughing, wide-eyed, like a child again.
Still… something felt different. Maybe it was my imagination, but Ella and Liam seemed closer.
They kept stealing glances when they thought no one was looking, and when they spoke, it was only to each other—like the rest of us faded into background noise.
Okay, I am officially jealous... or not. Just a bit, maybe. But also happy at the same time.
I had been Ella's best friend for years, and now here was Liam, quietly claiming her attention. But who was I kidding? If she liked him, and it was written all over her face, I'd support her with all my heart.
I was still watching them from a few steps behind when I felt a warm hand slide into mine. My breath caught as Nick's fingers laced firmly with mine.
