But she was his life now, and there was no going back. he watched his daughter playing in the sand and tried to remember when he did the same. if it weren’t for her, he probably would have never done something like that. daddy, I’m thirsty. she said to him. he smiled. alright lets get you some juice. he stood up, getting ready to hand her her cup of juice when he heard a voice from behind say his name. it was softly spoken, and he almost didn’t hear it. but the voice could not be mistake. a small smile played on his lips, as he turned to see her. hi.

tearing love apart,

ophelia's job as a wedding planner had its ups and downs. she loved seeing the glowing brides and the happy grooms, but one thing she did hate - being a wedding planner and single. it just wasn't fun. you were constantly around weddings, seeing all the happy couples and you stood there, the eighth wheel; the only one who is single and has to live out the reception alone with merely just a friend to talk to. more often then not lately, she was beginning to regret attending the weddings. but they were her friends, and she wasnt going to ditch their big day just because she felt like she was a third wheel sometimes. here recently, she had started staying with a friend of hers she had met at a wedding; tristam. he had the cutest little girl - raelynne - and she absolutely loved her to death. when she was at home, she spent most of her time occupying the blue eyed three year old little girl, making sure daddy got a chance to take a break and relax. she didn't mind it, really. she loved playing with the little girl. at one point, she had even asked her if she liked her dad. did she? yeah. she did. as a friend and maybe as a little more. but she wasn't sure what she wanted. she had decently come from a nasty divorce, and getting back into the dating scene wasnt exactly the first plan she had. but they had already kissed. and she was already into him more than she knew she should be. she was leaving to go back to texas soon, and she didnt know how long it would be before she was back in hawaii. weeks? months? she didn't know. but she knew no man was going to wait that long for her. especially a man as attractive as him.

she decided to hit the beach, something she hadn't done the entire time she was here. she wasn't exactly the type of person you would call "confident", but she had enough self confidence that she was willing to go to the beach and not really worry about what people think. she walked on the sand, looking down at her feet. she hadn't been to the beach in forever. she had been so slammed back, that when the wedding got pushed back and she had to stay a little bit longer, she decided that going to the beach was a thing to add to her "to do" list. she applied a little bit of sunscreen over her body, since she wasn't exactly what you would call "tan". she looked up and glanced around, looking for people she might know. then she stopped when she saw a all-too-familiar face. a smile crept across her lips and she walked over. hey she said softly, the butterflies in her stomach fluttering. when he turned to her and smiled, she smiled just a little bit more, moving to sit beside him. hi to you too, raelynne. she said, smiling softly. she pulled her knees to her chest a little, watching raelynne play. she could feel a tiny bit of awkwardness between her and tristam. it was like this a lot, actually. and she wasn't sure how to make it go away.

words: idek. outfit: bathing suit. notes: IM SO SORRY, IT SUCKS.
