Effy continued pushing the canoe that small amount more into the sand before she stood in the boat, having the fortune of being close to the front, and thus less capable of rocking it with every step. Going over the front of the canoe, she stepped onto sand without getting more wet than her feet, before her hand wrapped around the curve and she prepared to pull.
"Help me out," she told Kate, grinning as she rocked the canoe from one side to another to help reduce the friction as they tugged it up to shore. "Don't want it to wash away when the tide comes or some shit like that."
Only briefly did she allow herself to glance at the island itself, exhilarated by finally being away, finally feeling as though she had an escape from the entirety of everything on that first island. She was without brother here, without boyfriend, without his best friend, just coming as herself with someone who'd only wanted to be her friend for her. Not as part of a popularity contest. Not as a fuck. But her.

It was priceless.
