Slowly, my old routine started to go back to normal. I woke up at 7:30 as always and headed toward the beach. I tucked my blue surf board under my arm and my towel in the other.

Surfing is all about focus and maintaining your balance. Without those key elements, you would wipe out in an instant. Surfing to me was always a way to clear my head, but as I rode out the wave, the sinking feeling of the breakup finally came through to me. It hit me hard. I stumbled back a little bit, in danger of wiping out, but I gathered all my training and managed to ride out the rest of the wave. Usually I would surf a couple more times, but today I wasn't feeling it, so I just headed to the HQ.


I sat in my office, trying to complete some paperwork, but the picture of Adam and I at the beach at sunset kept haunting me. That picture showed both of us in our swimsuits, him shirtless and in a blue flowered trunk suit and myself wearing a purple and blue bikini, smiling at the camera. His arm was draped around my waist, pulling me closer to him and our surfboards tucked under our arms. The sinking feeling returned again. This time I realized that I would never feel his protective and gentle touch again. I realized how I would start surfing alone again. I realized how I we would never take another picture together again, and it hit me hard. The sinking feeling left me with a headache and stomachache. I reached toward my neck to massage it, but felt the chain of a necklace instead. I forgot about this necklace. I remember when he gave it to me on my birthday 2 years ago, around the time we just started dating. He made a surprise appearance at headquarters, all guns pointed at him. Even mine, just so our secret wouldn't be exposed. Danny sarcastically asked Adam why none of them had gotten a birthday gift after I opened my present. Adam replied with a teasing, "When you're as beautiful and hot ans sexy and Officer Kalakaua, then I'll get you your present." My cheeks and ears flushed a bright red color and I smiled to myself. It wasn't until I got into my office, I saw that he engraved Adam N. 3 Kono K. on the metal plate on the back of the diamond necklace.

After a couple minutes, I finally had the courage to to take it off and put it in a spare office box I had laying around. I stood up, let out a sigh and cleared everything that had a connection to Adam in my office and neatly packed it into the office box. I placed the box onto the couch and headed toward Steve's office.

"Steve, since we have no major case today, can I leave early? I'm having a bad day." I leaned against the door frame and waited for his response.

"Sure. Have the rest of the day off. Feel better Kono."

"Thanks boss." I gave him a weak smile and headed back to my office to get ready to leave.


Everything in my house that had a connection to Adam was neatly packed into 4 other office boxes including his clothes. I looked around the room before heading out. The house seemed bare without his stuff, without him. The bedroom especially. I let out a big sigh and finally left the house.

I arrived at the front gate and waited for the guards to open the gate for me. When they did, I drove inside, parked my car, and took a box from the trunk.

"Where's Adam?" I asked a guard.

Without looking at me he replied, "He's in his study ma'am."

"Thank you." I gave him a nod and guided my way around the familiar halls to his study. I braced myself for the worst. I took a deep breath and knocked on the door. It wasn't until the 3rd knock, he responded with a coarse, "Come in."

I pushed open the doors of his study. He was too immersed in his paperwork to notice me. I remember at times like these, I would come in wearing nothing but his blue button down shirt that was 2 sizes larger than me and underwear and tease him by saying hi giving him a cup of hot coffee, and strutting out of the room.

"Are you gonna just stand there or-" He slowly peeled his eyes off of the paperwork. He stood up immediately when he saw me. "Kono! Wha- what are you doing here?

I stared at him. His deep brown eyes hugged me with warmth. I noticed he wasn't wearing his suit today, he only wore a blue and white button down shirt with his sleeves rolled up and first button undone, exposing his skin. He wore somewhat tight jeans with brown loafers. On his left wrist, he wore his usual gold Rolex watch. I noticed that he was wearing my edition of his diamond necklace. It was a beaded necklace and instead of a diamond it was a surfboard. On the back it was engraved Kono K. 3 Adam N. I gave it to him on his birthday 2 years ago, except his birthday was before mine so he stepped it up a couple of notches with my necklace.

"You're wearing the necklace." I pointed out.

"Yeah, I forgot I had it on." I smiled at his awkwardness.

"Did you want it back?" He said abruptly while fiddled with the surfboard.

"No, no. You can keep it if you want it."

After a awkward pause of what lasted a couple seconds but seem like forever he said, "So, what's up." He stuffed his hands in his pockets and looked at his feet.

I raised the box a little. "I wanted to save you some trouble by giving you back your stuff."

"Oh. I could have done that. Here, lemme help you." He rushed to pick up the box from my arms and put it on the small round table on the far left side of the room.

"I'll go get the other boxes." As I turned to left the room, he grabbed me by my arm. I winced at the sudden touch, he immediately pulled back.

"I got the boxes."

"No, Adam. It's okay. I got it." I went outside to get the rest of the boxes.

After making 4 more trips, I lied to him by telling him I had to go back to HQ. "Goodbye Adam, nice seeing you." It hurt my heart when I said it.

"Wait! Can't you, you know, stay for dinner at least?" He said nervously.

"Adam, we shouldn't be doing this."

He nodded. "Perhaps you're right."

"When should I get my stuff?" I asked him trying to divert the topic at hand.

"You can get it now if you want or maybe over dinner?" He slyly suggested.

"Adam..."

"Kono, please? Just one dinner? Please?" He pleaded.

"Fine. Okay. What time?" I gave up, when Adam pleaded he never stopped until you gave him what you wanted. He was like a 5 year old at a Toys R Us.

"8, I'll see you then?"

I nodded and headed out the room. I tried not to smile, but I couldn't help it.

I sat in my car, looking out the window, biting my nails, just giggling. After a couple minutes, I drove out.
