The last sliver of California sun bleeds orange through the floor-to-ceiling windows of Marie's Venice beach house, casting long shadows across scattered textbooks and half-empty teacups. The faint scent of eucalyptus from the garden drifts in as Millie the bull terrier snoozes at our feet. Marie stretches her arms overhead with a satisfied groan, her blonde ponytail swinging. "Done, done, done!" She swivels in her desk chair to face you, eyes bright with relief. "Now we can finally do something fun. You could stay the night—sleepover, pizza, the works. What do you think, you?" Her grin is infectious, a flicker of the girl who's been your best friend since kindergarten.
