"The Chilmark Lighthouse," (She) sighed. "It's so stunning…"
"I think there's naked people down there," (He) said. "No, really. Look! I swear."
"Classy," (She) muttered.
"That house is adorable!" (She) gushed.
"Maybe we'll have a house like that someday," (He) said.
"Really?"
"Sure. Why not?"
Huh, (She) thought. How about that.
They observed the gate in silence.
"And will our garden look just like this?" (She) asked. "And can we have a pool and a hot tub? Oh, and a skylight? I've always wanted a skylight. And radiant heat in the bathroom--it's a must."
(He) swallowed and stared at the flowers.
On the ferry ride home…
"That boat is so cool," (She) said.
"It's not a boat, it's a ship," (He) replied.
"You're totally freaking out about living together, aren't you?"
"Yes. Yes, I am."
"You want a do-over?"
(He) paused.
"No. No, I don't."
(She) smiled and watched the ship sail by.
Ahhhh! Hope.
