Part 2: Chapter 2
Sunday morning, Nathan was running down the beach in his swimming trunks. As he ran, he saw Jonathan in his swimming trunks running the opposite direction. As they approached each other, Nathan and Jonathan stopped running.
"Hey Mr. Scott," Jonathan said.
"Again with the Mr. Scott," Nathan said. "How are you Jonathan?"
"I'm okay," Jonathan said. "I didn't really have fun at the Halloween party without Lydia."
"She's still refusing to come out of her room," Nathan said. "Do you think you can stop by later and see if she'll come out for you?"
"Of course," Jonathan said. "I love your daughter. She's the only girl I've ever…"
"Yes I know," Nathan said. "I don't want to talk about how you've…"
"I was going to say the only girl I've ever loved," Jonathan said.
"Oh," Nathan said.
"She's the one Mr. Scott," Nathan said. "She's the one I want to marry some day."
"Okay," Nathan said. "So let's change the subject. I'm going to the gym, do you want to come?"
"Absolutely," Jonathan replied. "I was actually about to go there."
"Cool," Nathan said. "Let's go."
As they walked, Nathan looked at one of the beach houses that had a "For Sale" sign.
"Huh," Nathan said. "That beach house is on the market. Haley's birthday is in a few months. Do you think she'd like a beach house?"
"You get people houses as presents?" Jonathan asked. "I gave Lydia a locket for her birthday present."
Meanwhile inside the beach house, a young woman with blonde hair was being shown around.
"This is an amazing house," the young woman said.
"It sure is," the realtor agreed. "It was completed in 2014. There's three bedrooms, two bathroom, a basement, an attic, and a back patio with beach access."
"I'll take it," the young woman said. "I'll buy right now."
"Okay then," the realtor said. "I'll go get the paper work Miss…"
"Rosemary," the young woman said. "Rosemary Lissing."
