It seemed like any time I took a step forward with Charlee we would end up taking two steps backwards. I wasnât equipped to help her, but I still wanted to be there for her, and she seemed like she was letting her guard down and letting me in, but something had happened to make her run away.
As I was getting back to my campsite, Drew jogged up the beach with his board tucked under his arm.
âWhat happened? You look like someone dropped-in on your wave.â He tossed his board on the sand.
âI donât know. Charlee and I had another amazing night together and then she just kind of freaked out. It was weird.â
Drew gripped my shoulder. âThe past has a way of drawing you under no matter how much you try to fight it. When I was talking to her, she made it sound like she spent most of her life on this beach. She has a lot of memories here with her late husband. It canât be easy for her to be here, especially with another man.â
My heart sank. âShit.â It didnât occur to me how being here with me might make her feel. I scrubbed my face hard. âShe got married here.â
âOh, yeah?â
âYeah. Up there on the bluffs.â I pointed in the direction of the café.
âShe might like you, Levi, but it sounds like sheâs struggling, and I bet itâs more about moving forward than about you.â Drew pulled off the top part of his wetsuit.
âAll of this is connected to her past and her late husband.â He motioned his hand around the campground. âShe probably came here to make peace with all of it, not expecting to find you. Itâs heavy shit, dude. You sure youâre ready for heavy?â
My phone rang from inside the Airstream, drawing my attention away from our conversation. I rushed in, and after the fourth ring, I found it buried under a shirt on the couch. It was my sister, Evie.
âHey, sis, whatâs up?â It had been a few weeks since I had talked to my family. My mom had been better for a few months now, so I didnât worry too much about her, and my sister had started dancing again.
âNot much. Iâm performing at a fundraiser tonight. Itâs nothing big, and my dancing isnât really up to par, but I couldnât just sit back and watch other people dance anymore. Do you think you can make it? Itâs just downtown.â
âYeah.â I chewed my lip. It seemed like a bad time to leave Charlee, but maybe a little space would be good for both of us. âSend me the details and Iâll be there.â Downtown was about an hour and a half or so from the campground.
Traffic during rush hour would be a nightmare, so I left after lunch to try to beat it. Gridlock in Los Angeles was pretty much around the clock these days, but at least I beat some of it and it moved at a steady pace.
