I reached out for Savannah and she wasn’t there. Probably getting us a cup of coffee, I thought. A few minutes later I got out of bed and went to look. She wasn’t in the galley. I stepped out into the cockpit and looked up at the bridge, where we’d enjoyed watching the sun rise since we got back from Tarpon Bay last week. Nothing. I looked toward Dockside, thinking she’d gone inside to buy something and that’s when I noticed her boat wasn’t in its slip. I leaped over the transom and ran down the dock. Her boat was gone. Her dinghy, which had been on the port side pier, was gone too. I ran to Dockside, yanked open the door and walked quickly across to Aaron’s office. “Did Savannah leave?” “Yeah, just after midnight. She said to give you this.” He handed me a sealed envelope, which I tore open as I walked out of his office and out the back door into the early morning sunlight. Dear Jesse, I’ve really enjoyed spending time with you. I hope you’ll forgive me sneaking out in the middle of the night.
