Sawyer POV - New Years Eve 2028
"Sawyer! Come dance with me!" I turn and see Charlie standing there.
I smile softly, "In a minute, Char, okay?"
She looks down and nods, "Noah wants to dance with you too!"
I nod, "I'll be inside in a little bit, sis."
I watch her skip inside and turn back to the ocean.
Makena hasn't reached out to me and I'm starting to lose hope for us.
I pull my phone out and stare at the lock screen.
'Damnit, I guess I should change that.'
I sigh and turn to walk inside when my phone vibrating stops me.
My eyes widen and I quickly open the text.
Makena😍: meet me at our spot?
I stare at the message and respond.
Me: okay.
I pocket my phone and turn to walk inside, "Come on, boy. Makena wants to see us."
He barks and I chuckle.
"Char!" I call.
She comes bouncing over, "Hey, ready to dance?"
I smile, "I'm going to go see Makena quick and I'll be back."
"You and Makena will be happy again?" She asks.
I shrug, "I hope so. I'll be back."
I press a kiss to her cheek and she runs off.
I turn and head for the door, "Where you going, Sawyer?"
I see auntie Jeri and sigh, "Makena wants to meet up."
Her eyes widen, "Yeah?"
I nod, "I'm worried about what she will say."
She softens, "No matter what she says, we got your back, okay?"
I smile, "Yeah, I know. Tell momma that I'll be back."
She nods and kisses my head, "Be good."
I give her a thumbs up and turn, heading for my car with Mav.
He hops in and I get into the passenger seat.
I pull out and he's down to the beach, getting out and taking a deep breath.
I reach into the car and grab a fidget and a chew tube.
"Come on, buddy."
Mav hops out and we start walking down the beach.
I start smiling when I see Makena on the beach.
I drop Mav's leash and he runs to her, sniffing and sits down.
I walk up and take a deep breath, "Hi."
She looks up, "Hey."
