Their last day at Cape Cod together held moments that seemed meant to be. Feelings were becoming obvious and neither wanted to hold them inside, but for the most part they did. They both got up early that morning and Sheila called him and made him laugh. He said he was ready and waiting for her call.

They enjoyed breakfast together and talked about their lives that waited for them when vacation was over. He told her he would be going back to work and that even though he liked his job, after a week with her at the beach it would be hard going back. She grinned and her eyes sparkled. For some reason, her freckles appeared to stand out more. He thought he was most likely imagining things.

She told him more about what went on in her neck of the woods and that she would feel the exact same way. She said being a nurse was very rewarding, but at times extremely stressful and hard to deal with.

At the end of the evening, during dinner together both agreed to talk after they got home. They exchanged numbers over the table as they sipped a glass of wine together before heading back to their rooms. After the bill was paid and they walked out of the restaurant, she didn’t look at him. Instead, she placed her hand within his and sighed.

“Are you okay?” he asked her.

Nodding, she said, “I’m fine. Can we take a walk on the beach before we go back?”

“Sure. That would be nice.”

Junior didn’t know what was on Sheila’s mind. He didn’t think about what time it was nor did it matter. He wasn’t on a schedule. As long as he was awake and checked out by eleven o’clock the next morning he would be okay.

It was a beautiful Saturday evening at Cape Cod. The air owned a perfect coolness, not chilly and without the dampness the heat could add on. As they held hands, Junior glanced up into the night sky and took in the stars. He could see a few scattered clouds but the view remained just as lovely.

When they reached the beach they both removed their shoes; the soft and cool sand felt wonderful beneath their feet. Junior noticed Sheila wasn’t as talkative and wondered again if she was okay. Obviously, something was on her mind. He hoped he hadn’t done anything wrong. After another moment of silence, he stopped and held her hand to keep her from continuing. She looked in his eyes and smiled. The way the softness of the moon rested on her skin was immaculate. He had to take a deep breath and almost shook his head to gather his thoughts.

“Are you all right?” he asked her. “You’ve gotten very quiet.”

She reached up and gently placed a hand on his cheek and softly caressed it. She could feel the stubble on her palm and it lightly tickled her, making her smile broader.

“Yes, I’m very good. Thank you for asking.”

“Okay, I was getting worried that maybe I said something that upset you at dinner.
