“Your toes should always touch the back of the board,” Luke said, paddling beside Callie as they bobbed over a wave together. She’d only realized that Luke had brought her the board with the gaillardia when he’d unfastened it from the top of the SUV. He smiled fondly at her, slowing down, as she paddled with everything she had to keep up with him.

“Put your hands by your chest and push up when the wave comes,” he said as a small one headed their way. He brought one foot forward and stood up on the board, the wave rippling under him and dissipating. “Like that.” He turned around as the water thundered behind him. “Here’s one.” He got back down onto his belly and pushed toward it and Callie followed, the rush of it filling her.

Luke put his hands on his board so Callie did too. Then he got on his knees. She followed. With a quick movement, he planted his feet and was standing just as the wave swept her off her board, toppling her onto the sand beneath. The water felt like a million icy bubbles on her skin, chilling her sun-warmed face immediately. The rush of the tide as it pulled on her body was a welcome exercise for her stiff muscles, sore from working so much over the past few days. She came up for air and felt a hand grab hers. With her free hand, she wiped the salty water from her eyes before opening them.

“You okay?” Luke asked. His chest was wet, showing off his physique and Callie had to make herself focus on his face. She was keenly aware that he was still holding her hand.

“Yes,” she said with a smile as she pulled out of his grip and bobbed over a wave before it broke on the shore.

“I’ll put my board up and come out with you on yours.” Before she could say anything he paddled to shore, took the surfboard under his arm, and jogged onto the beach while she bobbed around in the water.

When he got back out to her, she turned around to face him, but he redirected her toward the waves. “Keep your head on a swivel or a wave will wipe us both out.” He leaned down onto her board, and she scooted forward. “Stay where you are. I’ll paddle us out.”

When a wave came in, she watched its white bubbling cap while it built speed, her heart racing as they moved closer to it. Luke shifted behind her but she kept her eye on it like he’d said to do. “On your knees,” he said calmly, the wave getting bigger.

The board was turning at Luke’s command. “Stand up!” he said with excitement. “Bend your knees.” She did, and they were both riding it in!

“Oh!” Callie said, the thrill of it overwhelming her. His hands were on her waist, their bodies close. She turned to look at him, causing both of them to lose their balance and tumble into the surf.
