"Ride sharing" is "ride caring"

"I think they'd be happier if we took a ride," Marigold said, glancing at the quarreling Lynn and Joy.

"True," Kiona agreed. "Let's get this show on the road!"

With Kiona's intervention, the BB Brigade quickly settled on an Uber, "because we've blown enough on booze that we can't spend more than we have to!" With that, the girls called their ride and piled in despite Lynn's huffing.

Marigold packed her swimsuit in Kiona's backpack not because she planned on wearing it, but because she'd catch hell from Lynn if she didn't at least bring it.

The trip was anything but uneventful. Because of the beach's hidden location, the driver didn't know which back roads to take. By the time the girls figured out which way was the right one, Marigold was wondering if it wouldn't have been faster to hike straight there instead of driving the long way around the hills.

Finally, though, they arrived at the trailhead leading to the beach. Lynn erupted out of the car, full of enthusiasm and ready to party... and Marigold couldn't help but feel a little excited herself. If the beach was this hard to get to, it had to be something special. Top that off with how exclusive the invites had been, and the BB Brigade was in for a time to remember.
