The night it didn’t happen, they were on the beach, chasing a random demon. Over the dunes, down to the shore, into the churning surf. It dissolved there, anticlimactically, a floating green scum.
They were bent double, giggling helplessly, clutching at each other; and suddenly, they were kissing, desire all around them like a fog. Then Harris pulled back, and shook his head, as if rousing himself from a dream.
The memory comes to him, from time to time; a faint, familiar echo in his ears. His heart doesn’t beat, but it bruises. Regret sounds to Spike like the sea.
