Gwen parks close near the entrance of the beach. She notices that there are very few people there. That's good. More waves for her. She hops out of her car, her feet burning slightly on the hot asphalt. She grabs her bright blue and green board from the back of her truck and heads toward the beach. She hooks her surfboard around her ankle and heads out onto the water, lying on her stomach as she paddles out into the ocean. She notices a young man sitting on his board far out in the ocean. The waves begin to swell around her and she notices a couple good waves coming in. She paddles over to the guy and sits on her board next to him. She smiles over at him and says, "No one is normally out here this earlier. Normally I'm the only one."

Gideon notices a coffee shop up ahead and his stomach rumbles. He pulls to a stop in one of the parking spots and hops out. He winks at some girls who are making their way in. They giggle and hide behind their hair as he walks in. He walks up and orders three chocolate muffins and a small coffee. As he waits for his order, he leans up against the counter and looks around. It's a quiet crowd on the inside, mostly college students. He looks over and sees a girl(Neveah) sitting by herself at one of the tables. He looks back as they call his order number and he grabs his food. Walking over to her unannounced, he takes a seat next to her and looks at her. "Hey, darling," he says with a sultry smile.
