Chapter Thirteen

Holly

Jack’s image visited my dreams for the second night in a row. This time, the scenes were more vivid and lifelike, fragments of the day spent together at Sunset Bay provided the backdrop. Only, instead of ending with the promise to see each other the next morning, we tangled in the sand, bodies and mouths melding together.

My lips tingled as though the searing kisses had been real, as I opened my eyes, blinking the dream away. I smiled down into a pair of big blue eyes and ruffled the tuft of fur on Hunter’s head. My alarm went off as I snuggled with his warm little body and he licked my hand. “You wanna go see your girlfriend?” I asked, smiling down at him. His ears perked and I laughed. “Guess that’s why they call it puppy love, huh?”

Hunter wriggled free of my grasp and hopped out of bed, and I hurried to follow quickly behind, knowing that if I didn’t get him outside soon, I’d likely find a puddle when I got up.

While Hunter waddled around, sniffing for the perfect spot, I flipped through the notifications on my phone. I’d had it with me the day before, but had silenced it before getting into Jack’s car. It had been the first afternoon in over a year that I hadn’t spent glued to my phone.

Rachel had texted a few times, raving about her surfing-turned dinner date. I wanted to call her to get all the details, and to ask for advice in the predicament with Jack. I needed another perspective to help me figure out what I wanted. The walk back to the car from Joe’s had been stilted and uncomfortable, and I knew it was entirely my fault. I had so many walls and defenses built up that had been there for so long, I couldn’t even see them before I’d met Jack. Somehow, he’d thrown a light on and I could see my fears and doubts so clearly.

I switched the phone off and promised to call Rachel later. As it was, I had less than an hour to shower and get ready to meet Jack for coffee, and ten minutes of that time would be needed to walk down the beach at Hunter’s stop and go pace. I called for him to hurry up and get inside, and he begrudgingly trotted up the steps and into the house—sneaking past me before I could dust off his feet—and left a trail of sandy paw prints as he raced into the kitchen to see if the dog food fairy had visited his bowl while he’d slept.

“I know, buddy. I know.” I sighed at his disappointed expression and refilled his bowl, before leaving him to hurry upstairs and work the windblown tangles out of my hair.

By nine o’clock, I had Hunter tied to the bike rack, and was waiting near the front door for Jack. My heart was racing and I couldn’t keep from fidgeting, playing with my hair, and adjusting my billowy, off the shoulder top.
