Chapter 8

Should she be worried about this?

This newfound admiration for Gage that she never expected to experience in a million years. But it wasn't just admiration. Admiring someone was different. You respected what they did and their personality. This feeling she had included admiration; she just wasn't sure what the feeling was. One thing was certain, and that was he was no longer that person he used to be. This Gage might look like that person she used to know, but he wasn't him.

They'd been out here for hours now, and once again she was having a great time with him. They stayed in the sea until it turned dark and a whole other host of fears filled her mind about swimming around in the dark. Then they went back to the beach where they changed, moved their stuff to the bonfire pit, and set up a small fire. It was there that he regaled her with tales of his adventures as they sat on the sand by the fire.

Everything he told her sounded so farfetched. Like bungee jumping, skydiving and jumping from planes onto mountains so he could snowboard down their slopes. It sounded like something from one of those T.V shows, like Adrenaline Junkies.

Now he was telling her about his football fights and how he'd broken his nose at least five times and dislocated his shoulder hundreds of times.

"You just pop it right back in." He beamed as if there was nothing to it, flicking the end of his T-shirt. She cringed and shuddered at the thought although it was intriguing to hear what he'd done.

"Didn't you go to the hospital?"

"Nah. Too much time and they'd probably sign me off. They don't call me Gage Force for nothing."

She'd heard that name on a few occasions. Most often when she'd gone to visit Lucy, and she was watching him play on ESPN.

"You are something else," she giggled.

"Exactly." He smiled. "We should have marshmallows for this." He motioned towards the fire.

"I don't know what those taste like." She thought they looked weird so had never tried them, and the gooey insides put her off even more.

Gage looked at her like she'd just said something entirely ridiculous. "Woman, what they hell? How could you not know what marshmallows taste like? They're amazing. That's like saying you've never had chocolate. You're telling me you've never even had a hot chocolate with marshmallows?" He narrowed his eyes at her.

She shook her head. "They look like bird droppings."

He laughed. "Even the pink ones?"

"They have pink ones?" She didn't know that. She'd only ever seen them in white.

"Yes. Okay, the next time I go into town I'll pick up some pink ones just for you and make you a mean hot chocolate. I'll also get the big white ones. Before we leave here, we'll have them on a bonfire."

She smiled at the thought of him making something for her. "Okay, that sounds nice."

"That's it... You aren't going to do your usual protest?" He chuckled.

"No. I'll try it.
