Saltwater
by LindaMarie
"Woo! Damn! It's cold!"
Doug shook off his dripping hair. "I told you. Isn't it great?"
"Yeah, sure Doug, whatever." Chris pushed him backwards in the icy saltwater. It just made Chris get splashed more.
"Hahaha. Fine. Let's get outta here." They climbed out and Chris ran to grab the towels. When he came back Doug took one and dried off Chris' chest for him.
Chris stopped him with one hand. "I wish Kori were here."
Doug closed his eyes and leaned in close. "Yeah." Then he pulled back and wrapped one arm around Doug's shoulder. "Time to go home."
The Hendersons had their own rituals, and none of them were the same without her.
