I soon found myself outside in a little courtyard…
““I soon found myself outside in a little courtyard overlooking the ocean. I found him standing against the rails with a mischievous look on his face. Like this was all some game he was playing with me. “Took you long enough.” I was puffed out by the time I got to where he was standing as I tried to catch my breath. “Well, if you didn’t run so fast I might have gotten here sooner.” “That’s just part of the fun, isn’t it?” I stared at him and tried to figure out what exactly he was doing. “What is?” I asked. I wasn’t sure if I wanted the answer, or the answer I had the feeling he was going to give me. “The chase.” I sighed. “Nobody likes to be chased. At least not in these shoes,” I joked.””
