first chance.

[Adam's on the most breathtaking beach you've ever seen. White sand, cool breeze, crystal clear ocean. He gives a contented sigh and all but drowns in his mojito. It's about high time he had a chance to relax. He would be more than fine with spending the next 400 right here, kicking back under a coconut tree. But there's something missing

[Adam will see a woman running in a sports bra and shorts. She stops just short of him to check her watch to see how her progress is going. It's about time for her cool down...oh hey. She finally takes notice of Adam.]

Hey. Want to finish up with me?

[traptinacoffin]

[He cocks an eyebrow, but he can't help so much when his eyes slide over her figure.] You could take a cool-down with me instead. [Holding up his drink, and folding one leg over the other, Adam does his best to look like he's having t-too much fun to resist.]

[Thankfully Rita lives in a happy land where no one checks out moms that work out. She just laughs in response.]

I'll take you up on that in... [Checking watch...] five minutes. Do you mind getting me a water?

[traptinacoffin]

Five minutes is a reasonable offer. [He snaps his fingers and the bikini-clad girl is back with a water for Rita before she's quickly on her way again.] I'm not much of a runner, I'm afraid. Life goes fast enough as it is.

[justasdamaged]

[Since this dream land, she's already back to accept that water.]

That's too bad. It's great for you. Adds years to your life. [She'll go ahead and take a seat now.]

[traptinacoffin]

I don't worry about that. [He's sipping his drink leisurely, turning a bit in his chair to make eye contact.] I've heard it's bad for the knees.

[justasdamaged]

[Rita sips her water, frowning slightly.] I hope not. I do it all the time.

[traptinacoffin]

WebMD was made for hypochondriacs, anyway. Forget I said a thing. [He's smirking behind his glass, watching her.]

[justasdamaged]

[Rita is eying her knees before she changes the subject.] You know I don't think I've caught your name yet. I'm Rita.

[traptinacoffin]

Adam. It's a pleasure. [He leans over to offer her his hand.]

[justasdamaged]

It's nice to meet you too. [Rita shakes his hand.] So do you live around here?

[traptinacoffin]

Nothing so exotic. I'm just on vacation. [He smiles around his straw.] Yourself?

[justasdamaged]

I live nearby. [She settles into her chair.] I like to come running here. The view is amazing.

[traptinacoffin]

That it is... [he agrees with a sigh, looking out over the ocean.] I seem to have misplaced my friend. You didn't happen to see a young man, dark hair, sad puppy dog eyes?

[justasdamaged]

Oh no I haven't seen anyone like that. [Rita frowns, obviously concerned.]

Why does he have sad puppy dog eyes?

[traptinacoffin]

I'm sure hell turn up. And in the mean time, I have you. [He smiles, managing to stop the laugh that wants to come from her question.]

Wouldn't you be sad if you and I were separated? [Adam lifts his eyebrows, showing her how amused he is by her concern.]
