<strong>Beth, with Sean, not quite at the house</strong><br/><br/>"I have rather sidetracked things, haven't I?" Beth observed with a laugh, obviously not feeling too badly about it if she had. Once they  made their way back down to the beach she fell into step with him again as he broke into an easy jog and headed back toward the house. She actually had meant only to lure him back down to the sand not back to the house but that was one of those little miscues that was bound to happen between people who didn't know each other very well. She was smiling to herself as the house came in sight and kicked in a little burst of speed to get just ahead of him. She hoped the view would distract him enough to forget about the house. She veered off toward the boat house, glancing back over her shoulder with an inviting grin.<br/><br/>"Humor me?" she called back to him but didn't wait for an answer and didn't stop until she was at the boathouse door.<br/>
