“Con, take a bite,” she said expectantly.
He opened his mouth and ate a little. The strange fishy flavor filled his mouth at once. He slightly furrowed his brows in disgust. But when he looked at Debbie, she looked content. She was really a trooper.

When they got to shore, Niles ran up to them, leaving his brother to haul the raft onto the beach. He rushed up to Carlos and Debbie. He arched an eyebrow as he took in the bonfire behind them.
“Here we were, worried about you, and you’re eating lobster? Seriously, dude?”
Ignoring him, Carlos greeted Wesley with a fist bump and a hug.
