 "The salty sea sighs
the wind leaves its edges of salt
Everyone - unwittingly - says
goodbye
to the promise of the Summer-"

Bach stopped stringing his guitar. The ocean had been calling, it was clear that there was a story waiting, but right now his mind couldn't catch up with his fingers. The guitar already knew, while he was struggling to get the pieces together. 

"Fuck." He punched the sand next to him before getting up from his beach chair for a stretch. Corry was sweet, but he couldn't have sex with his half-sister wasn't possible in his book. And he had kind of looked forward to sex, the last time had been too long. Maybe he should find Essie ..

"Where the fuck did I come up with unwittingly anyway? That's not a story-word .."

"I will remember that, thanks, Alfie. You're a good guy."

He knelt down to the puppy. "And you're a bother, but I guess it takes one to know one. Enjoy your walk, the both of you."

Alfie smiled, with a slight bow of the head. Herb took Bach's kneeling as a positive sign and licked at the nearest skin. "Herbert, no," he replied, gently pulling the puppy's lead so he wouldn't lick the other again.

"Sorry." He quickly wiped where the spot with his thumb. "Thank you, we'll see you soon Bach." Turning his attention back to Herb he said, "Come on you." And with a final smile, headed off down the beach.

Bach just looked at the spot where Alfie had touched him.

"Fuck me."
