I stared out toward the shore, a cold beer in hand. The sun had started to set
over the horizon. Navy blue faded into oranges with a smidge of a deep
pink.
And the sight was fucking great. This is what I needed. The thought
surprised me. Is this what happens when you get old? Am I old now? You
start to appreciate the small things?
Once upon a time, I wouldn’t have given a shit about the view.
I sure as hell wouldn’t have splurged on a two-story condo at the beach
I was renting from my best friend, Abel. Not that he made me pay him. I’d
booked it and then told him I’d done it because knowing my investmentsavvy buddy, he would have told me I could stay there for free.
No, a younger, dumber version of myself would have rented a shitty
motel room to save money because either way, all I was interested in when I
was on R&R was getting a buzz, hitting some waves, and hooking up with
random women.
But that felt like a lifetime ago. I was forty now. I wasn’t old. I knew
that. But damn, I felt fucking ancient.
I leaned over the metal balcony railing and brought the beer bottle to my
lips. Taking a healthy chug, I felt the way my lips tugged upward. My
fellow ex-Navy SEAL and best friend Abel Pena had been right. This was
exactly what I’d needed to get my head on straight.
I’d left the Navy after serving for twenty-one years. It had been time. I
wasn’t the kind of man who wanted to be stuck behind a desk, or worse,
teaching a bunch of green-behind-the-ears recruits. I knew myself well
enough to know I didn’t have that in me. But knowing that didn’t help the
fact that change was fucking hard.
I was going out on my own a civilian once more, but I had no idea what
the hell my next step was supposed to be. Thankfully, throughout the years,
Abel had talked me into investing money here and there instead of blowing
it on a ton of stupid shit. Instead of buying fast cars or blowing it on drinks
for women at clubs, we’d invested. Thanks to Abel’s Midas touch, I was
good for a long while. Maybe not as well as he was, but I wasn’t worried
about the formidable size of the nest egg he’d helped me build.
But I wasn’t the type of man to just sit around and do nothing.
When he had first suggested I get away to get my thoughts together, I’d
rolled my eyes. But the more I thought about it, the more the idea had
grown on me.
And that’s how I found myself at Poppy Beach. Abel lived just on the
outskirts, and hanging with my best friend on his off time hadn’t sounded
too bad. Especially when he left three years earlier and I kind of missed
him. My eyes moved toward the pier and the boardwalk.
