His heated gasp filled her ear, sending a jolt to her core as she entwined her fingers in his tousled , sun-bleached hair. Grasping his scalp she pulled him closer , deepening their kiss as he hovered his palm at the small of her back.

"I was hoping you'd be back, Cutie" he said, his lopsided grin matching the gleam in his stare , as she outlined his smattering of freckles with one finger, and slipped her other hand below the hem of his shorts.

Her eyes held a glimmer of remorse , and she waded out of the water, evading his hand as it fell away and hit the water with a dejected splash. "I'll be back , before morning, please wait for me."

He'd be gone by daylight. As his eyes drifted open , the beach was devoid of life. All but his own thumping pulse , beating in sync with the crashing waves . With his surfboard stashed under the pier, he traced the foam with a despondent ache in his fingers. It wasn't the lack of sleep, it was the sickening guilt of not following her. There was a hopeless sense of loss in the air , of grief. Of finality. Could someone so fragile have survived the night? Then he heard her tear-stained voice cut through the moonlit atmosphere, "Flynn?". His eyes snapped open into full awareness, as he turned toward her voice, relief flooding his veins. His heart, stuttered in his throat as he called out across the sand. "Cutie, is that you?" Her whisper found him , trembling with despair. "I .. I'm sorry " . Rising from the shallow water and following the sound of her sobs to where her figure knelt in the gentle breakers , he embraced her from behind , placing his chin atop her head. "Are you hurt? Skye , what happened?" he asked with worry , his emerald eyes burning as he reached for her wrists. Skye offered up her arms in defeat, shaking her head. "I didn't do anything, but almost. " Flynn reeled back in shock ,his heart racing through his chest in a blur , as he cursed himself . "I'm sorry, Cutie..I really am" . his voice fell away into the tide, ebbing out and fading. She turned and met his gaze , her blue eyes shining like shattered glass. "I never meant to leave you . I was afraid-". He pulled her in closer , almost holding on too tightly as his strained muscles betrayed him. "Afraid of what?" His own voice was filled with hurt and confusion, not relinquishing his grip as she twisted around in his lap. "Afraid that you'd leave for good if you saw me like this." Flynn's heart thudded to a halt in his throat as he whispered ," I waited all night for you." There was a long silence before she spoke. "You know what I almost did?" You're not angry?" His voice was above a whisper as he nodded against her forehead, his gaze unwavering. " Yeah , I do. But we'll face this together , if you'll let me help. I hate that you were alone last night." She leaned back , sinking into his chest as he braced himself against the dunes , his irises emblazoned passion. "Stay tonight, we can just sit here , and do whatever, I don't care...Just as long as I know you're safe. " . She inhaled his scent, the comforting smell of him soothing her nerves as she sank into his chest. " Alright, I'll stay. I do care about you, Flynn. " He traced his fingers along her collarbone, and sighed into her hair, the familiar aroma filling his lungs. Coconut oil and cinnamon inebriated his senses, and he drew her closer. Closing his eyes , he retained his stillness, just the feel of her against him enough. "So , are you sure you're ok? " he asked softly. "Well, I tried to -but then I didn't because I couldn't do that to you. I couldn't hurt myself knowing how worried you'd be. " Her words settled into his bones as he smiled a desolate grin that didn't reach his eyes. "We'll figure this out, I promise. " He dwindled two fingers at her hairline , brushing a stray tress from her vision. They soon drifted into slumber, her breath falling steadily on his arms , as nightmares danced behind her eyes. "Hey, it's alright. You're safe." He whispered as she writhed against his chest , her pulse racing, causing his to shift further up the dune as she thrashed against open air. Her eyes , shooting open , were filled with tears and she clung to his bicep , rasping with panic. "Flynn? " Her shoulders relaxed as she registered his features in the grey light .
