The Bradshaws have owned a beach house down the coast from ours for as long as I can remember. Every summer since I was six, we\u2019ve vacationed there.<\/p>\n

Russell, their youngest son, was my best friend growing up. He taught me how to spit and punch like a boy. He gave me my first beer and first kiss, which was terrible by the way. We spent many days and nights commiserating together about how our parents knew nothing and were so uncool.<\/p>\n

Casey Bradshaw, Russ\u2019s older brother, was everything I thought I wanted in a boyfriend. He was cool, mature, and very hot. Each summer I tried and failed, to get him to notice me as more than Russ\u2019s friend and the girl from down the beach. The last summer I was there, he broke my heart.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s been six years, and my best friend Aimee has decided we need a vacation. The last thing I expected was to be back at the beach. Sometimes we don\u2019t realize what we need has been right under our nose all along, and sometimes it takes a little push and some alcohol to admit we were wrong.<\/p>\n
