While Sarah and Julia lugged the cooler up beside the fire pit, Prisha and I took the backpacks into the tent.I set a pack down and as I turned, Prish... put her arms around me and pressed her head against my chest. Surprised, I held her.“I am very surprised that Julia is here, Daniel. But I understand if you have chosen her.”I shook my head. “This isn’t some soap opera, Pri. I haven’t ‘chosen’ anyone. Julia really liked being at the camp last weekend, and there seemed to be some spark with us,. We stayed enjoying a peaceful moment – the only walkers in either direction on a sunny Friday afternoon.And then, without a word she turned, dropped her jeans and presented herself to the English Channel, the gulls flying overhead, and me. What could I do. In a moment my trousers were round my ankles and I was buried in her warm embrace. Now this is a very special position for us, one we use to celebrate most views from hotel rooms around the world, or from the opening of caves, or at dawn in. . At first she thought that they were going to stop at her house, and her initial reaction was one of relief. Maybe there wasn't going to be a "surprise," or if there was, it was to let her free. Oh God, she hoped so! But then she felt a twinge of fear as she thought of what her mother would say if she saw her like this. Sandy knew that she couldn't ever explain what had really happened to her, how she had been deceived and led on with alcohol and drugs until she'd gone too far and finally her. I put in my contacts, grabbed my robe and then quietly opened the front door. Okay. Whats wrong? She told me about her friend named Rico that she was starting to like and about other high school drama. Not wanting to go to continue the conversation for an extra amount of time I just agreed and said yeah in different places until she finished and decided to go to sleep. After we said good night, I got up to go inside when I noticed a flash in the distance. A cell phone light? I decided that.
