Danny awoke.
Candy’s side of the bed was vacant.
Danny sat up. The bathroom was dark.
He looked out the window.
A figure was walking on the moonlit beach. Danny recognized the person immediately. The flow of her hair. The way she walked. But what was she doing?
Danny rose and quickly pulled on jeans and a t-shirt.
The hallway was vacant and quiet. Hertz and Volta were nowhere in sight.
Danny quickly descended the stairs, stepping lightly as he went. He exited through the French doors and crossed the deck. He passed the swimming pool and the Jacuzzi.
“Don’t let her get away.”
Danny turned to find Nik relaxing on a chaise lounge.
Nik smiled. A tiny orange ember illuminated his eyes.
Beside him sat Hertz and Volta. Their shiny coats gleamed in the moonlight, and their purple eyes were bright.
Danny stepped off the deck. The sand was cold beneath his feet. He reached the shoreline, where he found a dress in a pile on the sand. He scanned the water. The surf was calm and he spotted Candy floating on her back.
Danny waved his arm.
Candy saw him and waved her arm. She waved once more, this time beckoning him into the water.
Danny pulled off his shirt and dropped it onto the sand beside Candy’s dress. He unbuttoned his jeans and let them fall as well. He ran naked across the wet sand and dove into the water.
He swam until he reached Candy. She wrapped her legs around Danny’s hips.
“Hi,” said Danny.
Candy smiled. “Hi.”
“Seen any dolphins?”
“Not yet. I hope they come back.”
“Were you thinking about Barney?”
“No. This one is for me.” Candy caressed the back of Danny’s neck and pulled him close. “For us.”
Candy looked into Danny’s eyes. “I love you.”
“I love you.”
She pressed her open mouth to his.
On the deck, Nik enjoyed one last drag on his joint. He pulled the hood of his sweatshirt onto his head, folded his arms across his chest, and smiled at the happy couple kissing passionately in the ocean.
Hertz and Volta purred in the moonlight.
