If anyone else was on the beach now, they'd see a lone soul sitting close to the shore with feet in the water, barely reacting to the waves lapping back and forth or the cool breeze that would be biting in a few minutes. But there was nobody else. Just Dalton alone and lost in his own thoughts.

His fingers idly twirled patterns in the sand as he looked off into the distance. He wanted to pretend if he looked hard enough he could see to the other side of the world where his lover was, but that was only wishful thinking.

Dalton pulled his knees closer to his chest and bowed his head. It was a mistake coming here. He had too many good memories with MacKenzie on this beach; he didn't even notice the chilled winds when it was just the two of them. But now they cut through.

He dug the heel of a palm into his eyes to try smearing away the stinging tears. So much for his promise to Mack that he wasn't going to be falling apart during this tour separation. He couldn't help his heart holding as much pain as it did love.
