He was sitting on the beach; distracted by something he was currently drawing in the sand. His gray shorts and simple white shirt contrasted with his dark features, which had my pulse quickening and spiking erratically. Although his eyes were downcast, I found myself anticipating the effect that their depth and intensity had on me. As I walked out from the waves and up the beach, his hand paused for a split second before erasing his artwork. The darkness I sensed before suddenly reached out and wrapped me in a cocoon of soft caresses. Finn met my surprised gaze with a devilish grin as he leaned back on his arms; taking a long moment to look me over. Standing before him dripping wet, I suddenly became highly aware of the soaked fabric clinging to my skin, as well as the inordinate amount of jewelry I was wearing, but there was a slight chance my just-swam-in-the-ocean hair was an upgrade from my earlier just-rolled-out-of-bed hair. So I had that going for me.

“Better?” he asked knowingly.

That one word held such a variety of meanings, I wasn’t sure how to answer. Did I feel better after swimming in the ocean? Yes. Did I feel better after finding him patiently waiting for me on the beach? Definitely. Did I feel better about almost having a nervous breakdown in class? Not in the slightest. Two out of three wasn’t too bad.

“Much,” I responded simply; putting my hands on my hips and lifting a suspicious eyebrow. “How’d you know I was out there?”

“Lucky guess.” He shrugged his shoulders, but the twinkle in his eye told me different.

“You were stalking me, weren’t you?” I teased him.

“Only on Tuesdays.” His grin widened. “Actually, I just followed the path of destruction you left in your wake. Brought me right to you.” I could tell he was suppressing laughter.

“You better be joking.”

“I wish I was. See for yourself.” I held my breath and glanced up the beach where I ran through earlier. It was as if someone had walked onto the beach and down the sand holding a leaf blower. The sand was blasted outwards in a two foot path all the way to the spot I had sat down on; which was just a larger extension of my path. Then it extended all the way down to the ocean. My eyes widened as I caught sight of the sand dunes, which had literally shifted away from my footsteps.

“Like a bull in a china shop.” Finn commenced to laughing so hard, he had to bend over to catch his breath. I had no idea my emotions had that much of an effect on the things around me. An image of Phoebe’s feet creating ripples in the sand when she was upset after the séance flashed before my eyes.

I crossed my arms and glared at him. “Go ahead. Laugh it up. But I’m not the one with sand all over me.”

He looked up, confused, as I made a circle around him in the sand with my eyes.
