‘Great. Lots of boats down there to keep you busy all day.’
‘Yeah. And lots of girls in bikinis to keep me occupied all night, too. I’m going to let my hair down for the first time in my life.’
‘Well, good on you, Rhett. I see you’ve taken down lots of photos in the house.’
‘Yeah, I’m going to make the effort to move on. I will never forget Olivia, of course. But I won’t let her memory dominate my life anymore. I will still keep her photo on my nightstand. But I might have to put her face down a few more times. I’m glad you dropped into my life, Angel. You’ve made all the difference.’

A couple of hours later, I was on the road again. Rhett and I had said a tearful goodbye, but we both knew that we were just ships passing in the night. I hoped he would find a second try at happiness in Florida.
I stopped at a diner to get some lunch with the last of my money. As I was leaving the parking lot on my way back to the freeway, I saw a young hitchhiker thumbing hopefully. It wasn’t Lars, thank God, or I might have run him over. This guy was military. He had close shaven hair, and he was wearing a camouflage jacket. There was an army style backpack by his side, and his boots were polished in the way only the army knows how. My guess was he was a young soldier going home on leave.
As far as I know, they don’t generally use handcuffs in the army. But they do use an interesting array of ropes, harnesses and shackles. This could be interesting. I pulled over and opened the door for my boy soldier. After all, you only live once…and everybody has to sometimes break the rules…right?
Right.
