The plan was to run along the coast without stopping when my phone buzzed in my pocket. It was an alert from the airline letting me know that Kimberly had checked in for her flight. I used our family account to book her in first class. It was the least I could do if I couldn’t be there with her.

The thought of Kimberly sitting on a plane soaring over the Atlantic and out of my life zapped me of any energy. I turned off my phone so I wouldn’t get the alert letting me know the plane had taken off. I’d walked to a nearby bar, ordered a club soda with lime and sat on the beach sipping, wondering if there was anything more I could have done or said to convince her to stay when I heard a familiar voice.

“Crossword puzzles! We have to stop meeting like this.”

I turned around to see Red, whom I met after my run on Wednesday. Today her hair was in a high dark crimson ponytail showcasing a smattering of brown freckles that danced across the bridge of her nose. She had traded in her shorts and bikini top for a green flowered sundress. She was still as gorgeous as she was on Wednesday, and still I felt nothing.

“I see you feel like drinking today.” She motioned towards my glass.

“Club soda,” I said without looking up.

“Look,” she sighed, “I know I came on a little strong the first time we met, but you really look like you could use a friend. Do you mind if I sit?” I shrugged and indicated the space on the sand to my right.

“Sure.”

“I’m Tracey.” She extended her hand and I shook it.

“I’m Adam.”
