“Good night?” says Dad. Then he continues without waiting for an answer. “Wanna dive the center today?”

“Of the strait,” he says. “For something different. I know you guys are getting bored with the reef. Maybe it could be fun.”
“Dad,” I say. “The reef is never boring.” And this is the truest thing I’ve ever said. I mean, it’s not the Great Barrier Reef, but it’s something.
“It’ll be an adventure,” he says. “Hey, may...be something will happen and I can write about it, because I’ve gotta admit, this book is sagging in the middle.”
“Right,” I say. “Okay. Adventure.”
But what I’m thinking is Kelby, Kelby, Kelby.

The thing with girls is that you shouldn’t let them get to you. You shouldn’t let them get in. Because next thing you know, they’re under your skin, like scabies. An itch you can’t scratch.
Not that Kelby is scabies.
Not that Daff is scabies.MoreLess
