The Topsail Accord
“She is waiting for Joe. She has just finished her first cup of coffee and is waiting for him to deliver her second. It is January 4th and they are going to walk on the beach. Walk to the pier and back. It is their first chance to see whether there really was something back in July, and whether there will be anything in January.
She spots him walking up the beach from the public beach access. He has chosen not to park in her driveway and walk around the house and come out her boardwalk. He has c...hosen to place his car four hundred yards away and to walk up the beach to meet her. She wonders why he chose to park so far away.
He catches sight of her, holds up the coffee he has brought for her, and smiles. He does not increase his speed or deviate from his course. He is walking on the firm sand down by the water. She is seated on the steps, separated from the firm sand by thirty yards of fluffy loose sand. She rises, walks across the loose sand, and waits for him near the water’s edge.
He hands her the coffee.MoreLess
