Beach Rental
“Today, all was quiet.
Juli had her sketchbook, pencils, sharpener and eraser laid out like surgical instruments on the white plastic patio table. While these instruments weren’t as sharp, they were scary. She reminded herself it wasn’t about success or failure.
This wasn’t a commitment.
She started with the medium pencil and played around sketching shapes and shading them. Juli was bent over the sketchbook in her lap and didn’t hear the renter coming up the crossover until she was at the house.... Juli looked up. The woman stopped, first tugging at the hem of her knit tank top, then brushing sand from her arms.
“Hi, there. Name’s Emily. Husband’s James. I’m sure you’ve seen him coming and going.”
“Nice to meet you, Emily. I’m Juli. My husband’s name is Ben.” She laid the sketchbook on the table and stood up.
Emily leaned against the railing. “Just you and your hubby? No kids?”
“Just us.” She remembered Ben’s warning not to let on they weren’t renters.MoreLess
