EXCERPT:
When we finally reached the beach, I walked over to a long rock bridge that stretched across the waterway. There was a guy fishing off one side and a few kids playing on the beach.
Stopping, I took in the calming sights and sounds of the ocean.
“This is my favorite place in all the world,” I sighed.
Looking around, Cohen eyed everything I did, as though he were trying to see the world from my eyes.
“It must be nice to have a favorite place,” Cohen said.
“You don't?” I asked
Something about the way he spoke told me he didn’t. “Well, not really. My family and I have moved around a lot. I never had a chance to have a favorite place,” he admitted.
Placing my hand on his arm, I felt compelled to comfort him. He seemed so sad and distant as he spoke. “I’m sorry you haven’t found a special place. Maybe you will here,” I offered.
Cohen looked down at my hand on his arm and smiled. My fingertips tingled even though there was fabric between my skin and his.
“I think I already have,” Cohen said, smiling down at me.
