“What do you mean?” I brush water from my face with my palm.
“That day at the hotel when you told me to make a wish,” she says. She looks into my eyes. “I totally wished for this. For you. For us.”
Her makeup is running down her cheeks and her dress is trashed, and she still looks happy. “I did too,” I say.
“I know,” she whispers back.
“I wished for more porn too. Just so you know.” She laughs and pushes me so that my head goes under the water again. I drag her down with me but she still comes up smiling. I hope she always does. I’ll do whatever it takes to make sure she always does.
