The wind swept the shore of the lake that seemed to go on forever, carrying sand across the early fall morning. Me, A teenage girl then sat along the shore, flip flops off as I allowed my toes to be soaked by the warm water. But this story isn't about me, it is about the Vulcan and human I was watching. They walked along the beach of Lake of the Woods their hands occasionally touching the other's, not an accident, Vulcans made sure to avoid those kind of accidents. I was intrigued... perhaps he wasn't Vulcan, but a spy in disguise, Or maybe they were a couple... That was always a possibility. I continued to people watch them. They sat down along the beach about twenty feet away from me. I struggled to hear the two over the waves of the lake.

"- Glad we managed to get leave."

"I am as well. It has been too long since we've been alone together like this."

"Six years..."

"Six years, 11 months, 12 days"

"You kept that accurate of a count?"

"I couldn't help it. I missed you too much..."

The human man leaned over and kissed the other man. So it seemed they were a couple.

"Madeline, We're going home, your brother is getting owly! Time to go home." my mother calls from the parking lot.

I grab my flip flops and smile at the couple on my side and then I run up to where my mother is standing.
