Lounging on her bed on her stomach, a magazine in front of her and her feet up in the air behind her, Kate pursed her lips and flipped a page. The magazine was totally outdated and she was pretty sure that this whole furry purse thing that was on practically every single page went out of style a few decades again, but it was better than nothing.

Which, on the island, seemed to be her only option.

Blowing a sigh out from between her lips, she looked over at Marshall, who seemed totally engrossed in some weird book. "C'mon," she said, flipping over and grabbing the bright pink flip flops she'd managed to weasel out of the box a few days before. "We are going to go outside and like, do something other than lie in total silence and be bored out of our minds."

And she knew Marshall probably wasn't bored with his book, but before he could protest, she grabbed a little bag from under her pillow and held it up, wiggling it between two fingers.

"I got this from this Canadian guy who kept talking about rocks and ice and stuff," she said with a grin. "It's island grown. Probably the best pot we're ever gonna get our hands on. Way better than anything we'd get in Overland Park."

"You do remember the last time we did this, right?" Marshall pointed out, but that didn't stop him from tossing his book aside, swinging his legs over the side of the bed and reaching for his sneakers.

"Not exactly the greatest track record."

"There are like, no laws here at all, Moosh," Kate replied, rolling her eyes as she headed toward the door. "Besides, the cops were there for dad, not for us."

Not that it had made her any less paranoid at the time and mentioning it just kind of made her miss her parents. Even if they did do stupid crap like get arrested for assault.

"I'm pretty sure I was talking about the embarrassment of flushing down your entire stash for no reason," Marshall pointed out, flipping off the light in their room on the way out.

Maybe they weren't paying a power bill, but that was no reason to be wasteful.

"Whatever. On a scale of one to Buck having sex with that bartender, that's pretty low on the embarrassment levels," Kate said, her sandals slapping loudly against her feet as she headed down the hall and toward the front door.

"Besides, the only way anyone will ever find out that we did that is if you tell them," she continued. "My lips are totally sealed."

"That is not our embarrassment. I refuse all knowledge of the alter's sex lives after T's last transgression," Marshall reminded her, and there wasn't even any bitterness in his voice when he said it.

Okay, not much.

"I showed up here in the middle of the jungle carrying a box with the word Liar painted across it. I manage pretty okay on my own, without you opening your mouth." His lips twisted into a wry smile. "But thanks."

"Oh, I know," Kate answered cheerfully. "Just be glad Mom and Dad aren't here to make it about a million times worse." Because they always did.

Pushing open the door, she looked down the boardwalk, then walked to what she thought was a reasonable distance before beginning to roll the joint. "Do you miss them?" she asked, looking down at the pot as she did.
