Kate had insisted on coming when she saw the look on Gemma’s face after hanging up. It was clear she was freaking out. Gemma was still terrified that something was wrong. Abe had acted so strangely, and further than that, he would never forget to show up for her, not on the day they planned to move in together and not just after telling her how badly he wanted her all night. She sat and faced the water, knowing he would calm her as soon as he arrived. It had been an hour and he was still nowhere to be found. She looked down at her blank phone for what must have been the fiftieth time and started to stand. Maybe they got their signals crossed and he was meeting her at the house? Maybe he wanted to grab her things so that after they hung out at the beach they could just go back to their place? God, she loved the thought of their place. That calmed her a little, and she dusted off her shorts and started to head back toward the house. Kate reached out to hold her hand for comfort. Lifting her eyes from the sand, Gemma didn’t even have to search to see him.
