Katy ran out of the house as soon as Mark pulled his rental car into her driveway. He didn’t even have time to put the car in park and get out and open the door for her. She was in and buckling the seatbelt in an instant.

“Thank you!” she beamed.

“You’re welcome,” Mark replied. “The beach in January, huh?” he grinned.

“The beach anytime of the year!”

“Anywhere specific?” he asked.

“Cannon Beach please,” she smiled eagerly.

Mark entered the information into the GPS and then slowly backed out of the driveway. He navigated his way onto the freeway heading north on the I-5.

“According to this we’ll be there in about ninety minutes. So lunch when we get there?” Mark asked, his stomach already growling because of his lack of breakfast.

“Was that you?” Katy gasped.

“Yeah. I didn’t think I was going to be leaving the hotel in such a hurry.”

“Well, seeing as though I rushed you, I’ll buy you an Egg McMuffin,” she grinned.

However, the request from Sarah to prepare a statement for the judge at the sentencing hearing tomorrow had her all tied up in knots. As strange as it was, she thought it would be easier just to answer questions than to have to decide what to say. She had tried to prepare something the evening before, but had given up after a few hours. The first thing she had thought of when she had awoken that morning was to head to the beach. She was more than capable of going alone, but she wanted Mark to come with her. She wanted to experience it with him, to share it with him. She smiled as she gazed out the window.

“You have a beautiful smile,” Mark said.

Katy didn’t respond. Yes, she wanted to share it with Mark.

Mark had visited beaches all over the world. He had surfed, bodysurfed, windsurfed, kayaked, jet-skied, swam, and every other conceivable water activity under the sun in all the world-renowned locations. But walking along the beach with the chilled breeze in their faces and the sun in their eyes was one of the highlights of his life. It was cold and
