“It’s been a while, but I thought I’d hit the waves with some of my favorite guys.”

I thought back to that day on the beach, when I’d known what I wanted—Mark and Coral Straits and being merQueen. Back then, I’d never thought I’d be able to have it all. Now … now I knew better. But that didn’t mean I would ever forget how lucky I was.
