Lexie blinked, trying to make sure that what she was seeing was real. It couldn’t be him, because he couldn’t be here. The whole idea was so foreign, so unexpected, that she felt as if she were watching the scene through someone else’s eyes.
Jeremy smiled as he set his satchel1 down. “You know, you really shouldn’t stare like that,” he said. “Men like women who know how to be subtle.”
Lexie continued to watch him. “You,” she replied.
“Me,” he agreed with a nod.
“You’re . . . here.”
“I am here,” he agreed again.
She squinted2 at him in the waning3 light, and it occurred to Jeremy that she was even prettier than he remembered.
“What are you . . . ?” She hesitated, trying to make sense of his appearance. “I mean, how did you . . . ?”
“It’s kind of a long story,” he admitted. When she made no move toward him, he nodded at the lighthouse. “And this is the lighthouse where your parents were married?”
“You remembered that?”
“I remember everything,” he said, tapping his temple. “Little gray cells and all that. Where exactly were they married?”
He spoke4 casually5, as if this were the most ordinary of conversations, which only made everything feel even more surreal to her.
“Over there,” she said, pointing. “On the ocean side, near the waterline.”
“It must have been beautiful,” he said, gazing in that direction. “This whole place is beautiful. I can see why you love it here.”
Instead of responding, Lexie took a long breath, trying to settle her turbulent emotions. “What are you doing here, Jeremy?”
It was a moment before he answered. “I wasn’t sure you were coming back,” he said. “And I realized that if I wanted to see you again, the best option was to come to you.”
“But why?”
Jeremy continued staring toward the lighthouse. “It felt like I didn’t have a choice.”
