New Memories

Getting out of the car and slipping her sandles back on Nikki joins Pete to walk through the sand. It was nice, and it felt good. The breeze that rolled in from the water felt so good on her warm skin too.

"And I always though getting out of this two was what I wanted. After being gone though I realized what I had given up and might never get back."

Nikki looks to Pete for a moment giving a smile. She new he'd know she meant him. Her and Pete never dated, but she'd been close to him, and they use to spend hours just sitting and talking about hopes and dreams even if Lewis didn't want to. It was just something she couldn't find else where. Pete always had time for her.

"I'm happy I came back, and I'm happy you remembered who I was. Life just wasn't the same out there without my friends, and it just didnt seem like I could find anyone else I was close to."

Stopping with Pete before the water line for a moment she takes in her own breath of air. It felt good to be here, it really did!

"I know things can't be like they were, but maybe we can make some new memories now and spend some more time outside of work. I think it would be nice for sure."

Giving a nod to Justin that she understood Beth watched as he put the worm on the hook. Watching it squiggle all over the place, and get slim on his fingers she didn't turn away but rather just watched.

"Ok, I think I can handle that."

Casting and doing what Justin said Beth flips the bail. Sitting down on the ground she just looks out over the water. The sun reflected off of it and it looked so pretty.

Turning her head one way she watched the dogs for a long moment before turning to Justin again. Looking up at him as the sun dances behind him she squints her eyes just a little.

"I....I know a little bit about your mom like she likes to hook you up with random girls and she likes to make you sandwiches but...whats she like other than that?"

Some days it was harder for Beth to remember her own parents. It seemed so long ago that there voices seemed to fade, and there faces did too. She had pictures locked away at home in boxs, but she'd never found the courage to open them alone. Maybe Justin would look through them with her one day, and she could...make dinner?
