“I was thinking more along the lines of this,” said T.J. as he leaned over and kissed her.

This time Cooper didn’t pull away. Instead, she slid her arm around T.J.’s waist and held on to him,

kissing him back. She felt the warmth of his skin against hers, and the pressure of his mouth where it

touched her lips. She could tell that he was nervous, too, and that made her like him even more.

When they finally pulled apart, she said, “I know that helped me a lot. How about you?”

“I think I’m over it, too,” he said. “This transition from friend to boyfriend might not be as hard as I

thought.”

They sat, holding hands and watching the surface of the ocean as the boat moved gently through the

water. The July afternoon was hot, and Cooper soaked up the sun’s warmth eagerly. It felt good to be

away from solid ground, surrounded by the ocean. Even though there were other people onboard, she

felt as if she and T.J. were on their own floating island.

“Look,” said T.J., suddenly leaping up and going to the railing.

Cooper followed him, looking where he was pointing. As she did she saw the surface of the water break

and a huge dark shape rise from it. It was a whale. Its black skin was covered with large patches of

barnacles, and the surface of it shimmered wetly in the sun. Then another, smaller whale appeared next to

the first. They arced gently up, their noses reaching toward the sky, and dove back down. As they

disappeared below the surface, their tails rose up behind them, dripping water, before sinking slowly

beneath the waves.

“They were beautiful,” Cooper said. “I’ve never seen anything like it.”

“Every time I see one I feel that way,” T.J. said, putting his arm around her.

They stood there, watching as the ripples caused by the whales’ diving spread out, mingling with the

wake of the boat. Having T.J.’s arm around her felt good, and as Cooper leaned into him she thought,

Maybe there’s a point to this dating business after all.
