On the Pier

Sarah ran down the beach, tears streaming down her face. Around her,the gulls squawked,adding to the chaos inside her head.
She could see the scene as clearly as if it were before her.They walked down the boardwalk, their hands gently brushing against each other and sending tingles through her body.They talked of insignificant things.
She looked up at him, and suddenly, she felt this irresistible pull. She had to find out for once and for all.So she kissed him.
It had seemed to her,then at least,that he had kissed back.
But when she pulled away,the look in his eyes read shock, and nothing more.Still hoping for more she searched his eyes and said,”I’m sorry…I’ve been wanting to do that forever.So…what do you think?”
He stared down at her,eyes blank,and she knew it was done.
Sarah stared down the pier into the dark abyss of the water, distracted by her thoughts,when she was suddenly snapped into reality by the hand on her arm.”This is what I think,” said the familiar voice.
And then he kissed her.
