Marshmallow Skye Continuation

I wake to the sunlight on my face. Summer must have forgotten to pull the curtains. I get up feeling weary and then suddenly smile. I get to see Jamie! I get dressed and go down to breakfast.

Surprisingly Honey is present. There is a sense of nervousness (for obvious reasons).

"Mum can I go down to the beach later?" I ask. Summer smiles slyly at me. "It's to meet Nikki's son isn't it? That Jamie boy?"

I swat her away with my butter knife.

She laughs. I'm so happy that things are back to normal between us. "Well you're going into town with Aaron aren't you?" She shrugs. Mum just raises her eyebrows. "You girls are just growing up too fast. Before you know it even Coco will have a crush on something that ISNT an animal!" "Mu-um!" Coco groans. "That's gross. Oh and boys ARE animals for the record."

I walk down to the beach after Summer's gone to ballet. I see him sitting by the rocks looking out to the sea.

My heart thumps the way it always does when I see Finch. "Jamie!" I call out. He turns and smiles that crooked smile that makes my stomach flip over.

I walk over and hand in hand we wade into the cool water.

Later we sit on the sand and talk. I still can't believe that whatever I dreamt came true. It's kind of spooky but thrilling at the same time. I wonder, for the first time, if Jamie knew I was coming too? Maybe I'll ask him someday.
