Chapter 2

In the second chapter of Love Times Two, Cassie and Claudia go with their father, Mr. Fletcher, to go for a little swim. On the oar on their way to the little lake's island, Claudia is stuck in a day dream. She is clearly thinking about her family's new neighbor TJ Howard. She was repeating over and over again what he had said to her earlier that morning, "You looked real graceful up there," in her head of course. She wouldn't dare let her family know her complete thoughts about TJ yet. It was pretty sudden, after all. Once Mr. Fletcher and his two daughters reached the little island, they all jumped in the lake. The two girls dipped for about ten minutes then decided they wanted to tan. They climbed up onto the deck and started talking about how they wanted to tell their friends they had gotten there safely and how beautiful it was. They came to the conclusion that a cool way would be to send all their friends a postcard each. They thought about where to go and it was decided that they would go to the Green Lake store, where, coincidentally, TJ worked. After their swim, they all went back to their summer house and started unpacking. While the two were unpacking they jumped into a conversation about how close they were, yet how different they individually were. An example of that is how they tell each other everything that happens with one another, but how they looked for different things when it came to guys and romance in general. They eventually got to how it'd take way more than a summer crush to come between them, also.
