Sean, having made an ass of himself again, headed for the beach about eight. No one was really there yet which was good, as he needed some time to be alone. The fact that school was almost over should have made him happy. The fact that he was actually able to convince himself that some fun over the summer, as opposed to a ton of work and working out, was an option should have made him happy. But mostly he was just angry with himself for being a prick for no reason. 'Johnny is right, I should cut the girl some slack.'
After running up and down the beach he came back to where someone had set up the firewood and sat on a log and drank some water. When some other people started to show up he lit the fire. He had Kainen grab him a six pack before he came down to the beach and decided to open one up. He offered some to everyone else and ended up giving four away leaving him one more. When Roz showed up at nine thirty he finally cracked a genuine smile. 'Well shit, doesn't she look like fireworks on the fourth of July mixed with every birthday present I ever got.'
After Roz said hi, Sean grabbed the beer out of the sand and started to hold it out to her. "Hey back. I saved you a beer, but it looks like you brought your own," Sean chuckled and slid down the log he was sitting on and patted for her to sit next to him.
