Chapter Fourteen

A week and a half later found Evie sitting down by the beach in Monterey. She had gone shopping with Seth to see if she could find anything for the gallery opening. So far it wasn't looking very good. She sighed and leaned back against the rock she was sitting in front of and smiled as she watched Seth chase around some children who had been playing down by the shore. Two of them had been throwing a Frisbee while Seth and Evie ate lunch. It had veered off course and nearly scalped Seth. He threw it back, but the kids must have liked something about him because they kept throwing it at him. After about three times, he'd gone down to play with them and had been at it ever since.

Evie sighed and looked down at her bag. She reached into it and pulled out a brown, leather journal. She ran her fingers over the front before she opened it and glanced across Traevyn's elegant cursive.

The same could be said for anything, I guess."

Since he'd been talking to her...

She sighed. To think that she had made some sort of small difference in Traevyn's life.

After reading many more of their favorites, he read her a poem out of the brown, leather journal. When Evie asked who it was by, he informed her that it was one of his own. Later, when she had been heading to bed, he'd stopped her at the door and slipped the book to her.

"I want you to take this," he said. "Read it if you want to. Anything you might want to know about me is in there." At the questioning look in her eyes, he had merely shrugged.
