After a week of visiting the beach everyday to see if he could see Kaci, Simon finally saw her sitting on her lifeguard tower.
'Hello up there,' he called to her. He waited for her response, but he didn't receive one. 'Yoo hoo? Kaci?' he called again, but receiving no response.
He began to climb up, but Kaci must've felt the vibrations because Simon saw her head poking out.
'Go away,' she hissed, before withdrawing her head.
'Why?' Simon asked her, a little hurt from what she said, but she didn't answer his question. By now Simon was back on the sand looking up. Something came down and hit him in the face; when he looked at the sand he saw a scrunched up piece of paper. He picked it up, opened it, and this is what it said:
'Meet me at 11.30 in the park!'
He folded the note up, and walked away putting the note in his pocket, he glanced at his watch, it was now 10 o'clock. That gave him and hour and a half free. He couldn't help smiling as he walked home to get a picnic ready.

Kaci watched him walking away, hoping he'd gotten the note, and not walked off in a mood. She was soon to find out, 90 minutes to go.
88888888888888888888888 - 11.35am
Kaci was aware she was 5 minutes late, but it couldn't be helped. Her 'dad' gave her a lecture just before she left, she wasn't aware of what he was saying, she kept thinking about Simon, and whether or not he was going to show. She would've been later, hadn't she run all the way.
She reached the park gasping for air, and scanned her surroundings looking for Simon. She couldn't see him, and was about to leave, but she heard her name being called. Turning to the direction it came from, she saw Simon a little way off, and half run, half walked to him.
'Hey,' she breathed, dropping her hold all onto the floor.
'You ok?' Simon asked, noticing her heavy breathing.
'Yeah, just had a nice run,' she smiled. Then looked confused as Simon grabbed he bag, and her hand leading her to the direction of a tree. 'What are you doing?' she asked him.
He looked at her, and smiled to reassure her nothing bad was going to happen, 'It's a surprise,' he told her, and carried on walking.
When they reached the tree, he put down the basket and pulled out a blanket ad set it down. 'Sit,' he instructed. She did as she was told, gratefully sitting down; her breathing was beginning to even out now. She pulled her hold all nearer to her, she trusted Simon and all, but it was a habit.
'I only found ham in the house, is that ok?' he asked.
'I'm a vegetarian,' she told him.
'Whew! I'm so glad I bought salad too,' he said smiling as he handed her a sandwich.
'Thank you,' she said taking it from him. For a brief moment their hands touched, and Kaci swore her hand tingled. She leant back against the tree, and Simon leant next to her.
She silently ate her sandwich, as Simon ate his. After they finished, Simon considered pulling the old yawn technique so he could put his arm around her, but he knew Kaci wasn't that kind of girl.
It turned out he didn't need to anyway, without saying anything she rested her head on his shoulder, and he had no choice but to put his arm around her.
'So, what you got planned for the rest of the summer? Or are you working on the beach?' he asked her. 'Kaci?' he said he name when she didn't answer. He bent and looked down at her, and found she'd fallen asleep in his arms. He brushed her hair, away from her face, he had to admit, he was shocked, but not very surprised to see she had a small almost unnoticeable scar on her hairline.
