    Summary

    “Er… hello?” Charlie called, putting every ounce of brave adventurer and mighty hero into his voice. “Is someone back there?”

    There was a sharp intake of breath, a pause, and then the voice said, “yes, I'm here.”

    Charlie hesitated. “Are you okay?”

    There was slightly strangled sob from the stranger. “No, please help me.”

    -------

    Nick, age 10, gets buried in the sand in Menorca by David, and can't get free. Charlie, age 8, fancies a rescue mission.

    Summary

    Charlie Spring is widowed, in his early 40s, and happily single living in LA. For years, his mother has tried to convince him to move back to the small Washington town where he graduated high school, which doesn’t interest him in the slightest. However, after a visit home for the holidays—and some happy news from his sister, Tori—he finds himself unexpectedly drawn home, where a (not so) chance encounter with Nick Nelson, the man he crushed on for half of high school, sets him on a new path.
