My calves still ache, my forehead is sunburned, and I'm the most physically exhausted I've ever been, but there's something almost hypnotic about the walk. I almost enjoy it.

I lean in and kiss that smile. She kisses me back, and it click, click, clicks in my brain.

We're both still nodding, and I'm starting to worry we'll never be able to stop nodding at each other. We're going to be stuck in an awkward nodding loop until the shame from last night finally fades. If it ever fades.

It must be 90-proof brandy in that sangria, because I start shouting at Stefano. "Not heterosexual! Yes Sadie, but not heterosexual!"

We sit shoulder to shoulder in silence for over an hour, breathing and watching, and even the silence is exquisite with her.

One: I do have a crush. Two: And it's on Mal.
And three: Mal humiliatingly knew about it before I did.
She knows I have a fucking crush on her.

"Are you fucking kidding me?" Mal shouts, and the drunk and/or over-caffeinated customers stare at us. "You've been in Portugal for forty-eight hours, and you haven't tried pasteis de nata yet?"

Mal comes running down the stairs with her bag slung over one shoulder. She's wearing her Hokas, brown hiking pants, and a white T-shirt beneath her open fleece. And she is, regrettably, very hot indeed.

So, yeah, I impulsively slammed my knife handle against my glass to save her from scrutiny. But this doesn't count as flirting or anything.

I can't believe I told her I'm a lesbian.
And based on my picture-perfect memory of her mouth, I can't believe I didn't suspect I might be a lesbian a long-ass time ago.

Her eyes scan the seat numbers until they land on 18A, and her gaze drops down to me. As her mouth widens into a friendly smile, something weird happens in my stomach.
