Once finished, she threw her apron in the laundry basket and headed off for some well-deserved beach time. At her cottage, she changed into a white and blue striped one piece and threw on a long sleeved white shirt as a cover-up. Tossing Sprinkles a treat, she shoved a towel in her oversized beach bag and headed down to the small beach at the end of her street.The beach was dotted with colorful blankets and beach umbrellas.

Lexy spotted Jack lying on a lounge chair about ten feet from the edge of the water. She slipped off her flip flops to feel the warm, course sand on her feet and started toward him.“Hi handsome, is this spot taken?” Lexy spread her towel down beside Jack who peered over the top of his book at her.“I suppose you can sit here, but only until my wife comes down.” Lexy laughed, then bent over to kiss him before plopping down on the towel.“So how was your visit with the widow?”
