Sail Away Part three
By Providence lover
Syd and Rick are driving toward the beach. The top is down on Rick's car and Syd smiles as the wind rushes through her hair.
Syd: It's a lovely night.
Rick: Yeah, it is. I hope you don't mind eating by the water but I have to stay close by in case of an emergency.
Syd: (laughing) Like a boat accident?
Rick: Yep, exactly.
Finally they arrive at the beach and Rick helps Syd from the car. They walk into the restaurant and find a table near the window overlooking the ocean.
Then a waiter comes over to their table.
Waiter: what can I get you this evening?
Rick: Why don't we split an appetizer and then we'll decide.
Syd nods in agreement.
Waiter: OK, be right back.
Rick turns to Syd after the waiter is gone.
Rick: So, why don't you tell me about yourself, now that your memory is back.
Syd laughs.
Syd: What do you want to know?
Rick: I want to know what a beautiful girl like you is doing working in a free clinic.
Syd laughs.
Syd: Well it wasn't always like that. I was a plastic surgeon in LA for about four years until my mother passed away and my sister became an unwed single mom. I decided to move back home and be here for the family.
Rick: That's very sweet of you.
Syd shrugs.
Syd: Well my life in LA wasn't so glamorous after a while. I broke up with my boyfriend and from there everything just started to fall apart.
Rick: You must be very brave.
Syd: Well I don't know if you would call it brave but...
Rick: Well I would call you brave.
Syd laughs and Rick reaches for her hand.
Then the waiter comes over with their appetizer.
Rick: (to waiter) Thank you.
The waiter nods and walks off.
Rick: So what do you say after we eat we take a nice walk on the beach.
Syd smiles.
Syd: That sounds lovely.
Later that evening:
Syd and Rick are walking along the beach talking about their jobs and what they have planned for the future.
Syd: (Looking at the sunset) Wow, it's so beautiful.
Rick: Yes, it is but not as beautiful as you.
Syd smiles and they embrace in a passionate kiss.
Hansen house: next morning:
Syd and Joanie walk into the kitchen together discussing their dates.
Syd: And he's so funny and sweet.
Joanie: Did you kiss?
Syd smiles.
Syd: Yes.
Then Robbie walks in.
Joanie: Hi Rob. How was your date with Tina?
Robbie: Two words, I rule.
Joanie: Syd had a good date too.
Robbie: Good for her, well I gotta get to O'Neils so see you.
Syd: Bye.
Syd pours herself a cup of coffee and sits down at the bar.
Joanie: So are you going to go out with him again?
Syd shrugs.
Syd: Maybe, I don't know.
Joanie: Well from what I saw I'd say he's very well worth it.
Syd: I might go out with him again, we'll just have to see.
Joanie; Come on Syd, you obviously like him.
Syd puts her coffee mug in the sink and grabs her stuff. She heads for the door.
Syd: Bye.
Joanie: Bye.
At St. Clare's:
Syd comes into the clinic to find Izzy at the front desk and the clinic quiet.
Syd: Izzy, what's going on?
Izzy: I don't know, there hasn't been a single patient all morning.
Syd: Hum.
Syd goes into the office and puts her stuff away. Its a very good time to chat up on some over due paperwork.
Izzy pops her head into the office.
Izzy: when you put your stuff away come out front, you have a visitor.
Syd sighs and puts her stuff away quickly. She goes out front and finds Rick waiting for her.
Syd smiles.
Syd: Hi, what are you doing here?
Rick kisses her softly on the cheek.
Rick: Just came by to say hi. You don't look too busy now, want to go grab some late breakfast?
Syd: Sounds good but don't you have to work today?
Rick: Nope, I have the day off. So, what do you say?
Syd: I say yes.
Syd goes back to her office and retrieves her coat. She grabs her purse and meets Rick in the car.
Syd: So, where are we going?
Rick: How about O'Neils?
Syd shrugs.
Syd: Great.
At O'Neils:
Robbie is cleaning the counters when Syd and Rick come through the door.
Robbie: Syd! What brings you down here at this time of day?
Syd: the clinic was slow, and I'm talking slwo. Not one single patient.
Robbie: Sorry.
Syd shrugs.
Syd: its ok. Robbie, you do remember Rick don't you?
Robbie shakes hands with Rick.
Robbie: How ya doing man?
Rick: All right. So, what can I get you two?
Syd: I'll have some eggs and bacon.
Rick: And I'll have pancakes.
Robbie writes down their order.
Robbie: Coming right up.
Syd and Rick talked while they waited for their food.
Syd: So, what's your life long dream? Did you always want to work at the coat guard?
Rick: Well my dad was a fisherman and I wanted to be one too, but then I married and had a daughter and that all went down the drain?
Syd can't belive it.
Syd: You're married?
Rick: Don't worry, my wife and child died in a car accident about six years ago.
Syd: I'm so sorry Rick.
Rick: Thanks. I just realized that I needed to get on with my life and that's exactly what i plan to do. I swore I would never love anyone else, until now.
Syd felt her cheeks grow hot and she turned away.
Rick: Sorry, I didn't mean to startle you.
Syd: Its ok.
Then Robbie appears with their food.
Syd: Thanks Rob.
Robbie: No problem. So, got any plans today?
Syd: Yes, work. In fact i need to call and ask Izzy how busy we are.
At the Barkery:
Joanie is finishing up with a costomer when Burt walks thorugh the door.
Burt: Hey!
Joanie turns around and smiles.
Joanie: Hey Burt, what are you doing here? I thought you had to work today?
Burt: I was able to wrangle a twenty minute break. How's Syd?
Joanie: Well she has her memory back and she went to work today. It was weird though, she just all of a sudden remembered everything, like nothing had changed.
Burt: That's good isn't it?
Joanie: Yea, it was just weird.
Burt: Well I gotta go, see you.
Joanie: Bye.
Burt walks out of the door leaving Joanie with a smile on her face.
