Hanging Loose (2011)
“I wore Jez’s spare wet suit. It didn’t bode well. Sweeping my objections aside, he’d taken into his head to teach me to surf. After considerable coaching, I was able to stand up on the board and even glide a short distance. The proud enthusiasm Jez showed was greatly out of proportion to my achievements, yet he looked so sincerely pleased that I had to believe he wasn’t just humoring me. Still, I think Jasper was the more accurate one when he joked that I looked like Donald Duck on the board.
“...Don’t listen to him, Ducky,” Jez teased. “You were magnificent.” I snorted at both the nickname and the outrageousness of that statement and pushed him underwater. Eventually I made my escape to the shore, where I could watch and draw them riding the waves. We didn’t get back to the house till midafternoon.
It was a quiet, lazy time. I took a cold shower to cool down. Upon returning to our room, I found it empty, but through the window I spotted two figures—Jez and Jasper—stroll off into the trees.MoreLess
