[b]"It's pretty similar to your story, actually,"[/b] he replied. [b]"Only my parents were underbearing. They never did anything, and before long I knew that I had to get it. So I got this lifeguard job and eventually saved enough money to get my own place. Conveniently enough, I found one right on the beach. It's been great ever since, if a little...uneventful. Even a lazy lifeguard like me gets restless eventually,"[/b]

She blinked, listening to him. Underbearing? She chuckled slightly. [i]Looks like we got both ends of the spectrum...[/i]

[b]"The beach never gets old, though. I do love it,"[/b] he added. 

[b]"Of course! How could you?"[/b] She cheered with a wide smile, the moonlight hitting her face at an interesting angle. It made her face look as if it were glowing. The moon made Lucas look like he had a halo around his head which procured another giggle from Claire.

[b]"So...you work at the coffee shop? I've never been there. What's it like?"[/b] He asked, looking over at her. She looked down at the sand, watching her toes sink into it.

[b]"It's okay. Not exactly my dream job. But I'm kind of confused as to what my dream job really even is. I'm 19, I'm not supposed to know that sort of stuff yet, right? I have some time to figure it all out..."[/b] She told him, trying to convince herself. It wasn't working. [b]"I'm not even sure what other job I could do..."[/b] She mumbled, clearly put off at her current job.

[b]"Oh, you probably want to know what the actually cafe is like..."[/b] She started, a bit flustered, [b]"I just kind of went onto a whole different story didn't I? I'm sorry."[/b] She rubbed the back of her neck in frustration, trying to think of the right words. [b]"It's... homey. They have wifi and their coffee is really the best. They even have a little book store next door so you can get a book to read while you drink your coffee. It's all pretty quaint..."[/b] She told him, smiling up at him.

[b]"What about you? Why a lifeguard?"[/b] She asked.
