<div class="floatleft">(https://elliquiy.com/elluiki/images/e/e5/RachaelAutumn1.jpg)</div><strong>Character name</strong>: Rachael Autumn (https://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=211572.msg10470277#msg10470277)<br/><strong>Who:</strong>Caleb<br/><strong>Where:</strong>The beach<br/><strong>When: </strong>August 4th | Sunrise<br/><strong>Wearing:</strong>This (http://www.polyvore.com/m/set?.embedder=9505579&.svc=copypaste-and&id=142767190)<br/><hr/>His response to her agreement that he could run with her almost made Rachael wince. It was so come-on worthy she wondered if he'd done it on purpose, though a glance at him out of the corner of her eye didn't show him giving her some smarmy smile, and instead he smirked as if he thought it was funny that he'd said what he did. Deciding against calling him out on hitting on her, she gave him the benefit of the doubt and decided to chalk it up to him not realizing just how it would sound until he'd already said it.<br/><br/>Her lungs were working harder than usual, and Rachael's calves were starting to feel a little more worked than they usually did this early in her run. When he introduced himself, she considered for a moment giving him a fake name, worried a bit about her celebrity. It was highly unlikely someone who looked like him would have ever heard of her or her books, but there was always that chance and did she really want to deal with some stranger on a beach at dawn asking her for an autograph in the middle of a run?<br/><br/>Finally shrugging off her half-paranoid thought process, she answered in a slightly breathless tone. "Rachael." She looked at him again, this time turning her head enough to really take him in and she couldn't stop the words before the came spilling out of her mouth. "Do you usually go running right after you swim, Caleb?" she asked. "Running while you're still soaked from the water can't be comfortable."<br/><br/>Inwardly, she cringed at the fact that that phrase could have been taken as much more than it was meant to be, and hoped he would give her the benefit of the doubt the way she had and he would just assume she was awkward in situations like this.
