We woke up in a tangle of sandy sheets, still wrapped in each other’s arms. He opened his eyes and smiled at me.

“It’s the morning,” I said. “And I’m still here.”

He squeezed me tight. “Good. And sorry about the small bed. You’ll be happy to know I have a king-sized bed at my place in Quincy.”

I looked into his eyes, wondering if he realized the truth that small detail held; he was talking about us beyond this vacation. I closed my eyes and finally relaxed in his arms.

Making the walk of shame back to the rental for a shower and a change of clothes at ten a.m. was mortifying. My friends were awake, drinking coffee on the patio.

“You’re up already?” I asked.

“We haven’t been to bed yet,” Brooke announced.

“But it looks like you have!” Catherine chimed in.

“I don’t want a beach fling,” Monica said, in a singsong imitation of my voice. “Oh, this is just like Pretty Woman except you’re Richard Gere.”

I gave her a look. “Uh, not exactly.” I wrapped my arms around myself. “And it’s not a fling. He’s talking like we’re going to see each other after the vacation.”

The girls stopped grinning and exchanged worried glances. “Anna, we’re talking about Finn Donahue. The king of flings.” Catherine pursed her lips.

“It’s just who he is,” Brooke added quietly. She forced a smile. “Just have fun and don’t worry about the future.”

I shook my head. “No. That’s who he was. He’s different now.”

Silence settled over the group.

I ignored them. “Please tell me Monica made one of her famous omelettes.”

“We went out for breakfast with our volleyball boys,” Catherine told me.

“But there’s an awesome Danish pastry inside,” Brooke said.

I was glad we dropped the Finn discussion. They hadn’t seen the man he’d become. They were still thinking about the boy from high school.
