“Oh no problem.” Tina feels bad for Harper. “There’s no hurry.”

“I’m just thankful we aren’t in the middle of a run right now. That would’ve been disastrous.”

“I’m sure.” Tina says putting her day planner away. “I couldn’t help but notice all your surfboards while you were gone. I should’ve known you were a surfer.” Tina smiles at her.

Harper smiles, “Do you surf?”

“I’ve gone a few times but I wouldn’t exactly call myself a surfer.” Tina chuckles thinking about herself trying to stand on a board.

“Well if you are ever in the mood to go again just let me know. I am always looking for new people to ride with.”

“Really? I don’t know how much riding I would do. More like a lot of falling.” Tina laughs.

“Well, I’m a great teacher and I bet all you need is a few pointers and you will be riding in no time. If I can teach my 8 year old niece how to do it I can teach any one.”

Tina’s mind starts working again, thinking about her kids. “A good teacher huh?” Tina gives Harper a knowing smile.

“Yeah, what are you thinking about?” Harper knows damn well.

“Well, we do take the kids to the beach once a month.”

“Mmhm.” Harper smirks.

“Maybe you would like to join us some time. Maybe do a little teaching.” Tina gives her a big smile.

Harper returns the big smile, “I’d be into that.”

“Good. How’s this weekend sound?”

Harper laughs, “You sure do work fast.”

“Well?”

“This weekend sounds good.”

The gang all sits at The Planet listening to Tina tell about Harper teaching the kids how to surf.

“That’s great!” Alice says. “I need to pee.” She gets up and eyes Dana.

“Yeah, me too.” Dana says leaving the table.

“They are too much.” Carmen says.

“So I need chaperone’s if any one is interested.” Tina tries to finish her story.

Carmen and Jenny beg out. Shane says nothing for fear of the topic of her liking Harper coming up. Kit motions to the table to Carmen.

“Oh I gotta start.” Carmen says motioning back to Kit. “Can you help me bring in my crates?” She asks Jenny.

“Of course.” Jenny smiles. “Be right back.”

They leave the table.

“So Tina, do you really need chaperone’s for this beach thing?” Shane asks quietly.

“Yeah, you interested?” Tina smiles.

“Sure, I’d like to help.” Shane says looking at her.

“I would love it if you were involved Shane. That makes me really happy.” Tina touches her hand and smiles.
