A chat at the beach

“Beck.”

“You got a new dog?”

“Yeah.”

Beck was wearing a turtleneck sweater with jeans and a really nice beige trench coat. This guy really knows how to dress. I really want his coat. Soon Ace was back with the ball. He dropped the ball net to my feet.

“He’s cute. What’s his name?”

“Ace. My Dad gave him to me for Christmas.”

Beck picked the ball up and threw it for Ace to go and fetch it.

“How was your Christmas?” I asked him. “Did you go back to New York?” We didn’t really text much. The last time we did was on the night we went to Winter Wonderland.

“I actually just got back.” He answered.

“You just got back? Like you just got off the plane?” I was confused.

“Yeah. Just a few hours ago.”

“Oh. How was it?”

“It was okay. Nothing special really. How was your Christmas?”

“It was great.”
