I’M STRUGGLING WITH arms full of sticks and ocean bark that I don’t see the man jogging toward me down the path. I don’t see him until I slam into him and my collection goes flying. With a loud cry, I stumble backward, shocked and confused. It takes me a moment to realize what has happened. I’ve crashed into someone because I couldn’t see in front of me, and he clearly wasn’t paying attention either.

He throws his hands out right away, and I see he’s incredibly handsome. Tall, lean, with sandy blond hair and deep brown eyes. He’s been around the water for a lot of his life, that much is clear. He looks like he belongs on the ocean, maybe in a ship or something of the sort. He looks to me, and in a puffed voice from running, he says, “God, I am so sorry. Let me help you pick up your ... sticks.”

My cheeks flush as I kneel down and start gathering the little collection I was bringing back from the beach to make some things. I don’t know what, but I thought I could use them in a crafty way to make things for my little cabin. I like creating, and what better way to do that then with what mother nature naturally gives out.

“It’s okay, they’re just for some art,” I say, picking up what I can. “I’m so sorry, I didn’t mean to run into you.”

“It’s okay, no problem at all,” he says, standing with a hand full of sticks. Most of those aren’t the ones I had, but I can’t help but smile at his effort.

He hands them all to me, and I can’t stop the giggle that escapes my throat.

“Those aren’t your sticks, are they?” he says, a grin spreading across his handsome face.

“No, but that’s completely okay. I appreciate you helping.”

“You’re new around here?” he asks, studying me. “I don’t think I’ve seen you on this path before.”

“I am, I live in the cabin just over there.”

I nod my head in the direction of the cabin.

“Oh, nice. I knew the people there before, good people. You living alone?”

“Yeah, just me. I’m working at a local café in town and trying to settle in as best I can. I’m Merleigh, by the way.”

“Nice to meet you, Merleigh. I’m Carson.”

Carson.

Handsome.

“Have you lived around here long, Carson?”

“Nah, only for the last few years. I used to live by the ocean, I did a lot of traveling for surfing. Then I retired and wanted to be back by the beach, so here I am. I work at a local fishery now.”

“You surf?” I ask, raising my brows.

“Yeah. Well, I used to.”

“And you competed?”

He nods.

“That’s really cool. I have a friend who surfs, he’s teaching me. It’s not as easy as it looks.”

He laughs. “No, it certainly isn’t. Listen, do you need a hand with those sticks? I feel bad that I knocked you over.”

“That would be great.”

I point out which ones I want and he collects them before following me back to my cabin.
