The wet sand between her toes soothed her soul as she walked. “I guess it soothes my soles, too,” she mused as she continued down the beach and might have laughed if she hadn’t been in such a sour mood

I really enjoyed this. I’ve been on a relationship like this before. I tried so hard to be a good, easy going girlfriend, that I let them walk all over me. I loved your description of the hermit crap. I found it really cute.

Aw, thank you. And yes, I think it happens to many women, and it's like, no it's so much better to have boundaries! Something lots of us have to learn, after being socialized to be nice and calm and quiet for so much of our lives.

I'm glad you're in a better place! I'm so happy for you that you're getting married soon and moving to Paris, that is really awesome.

Thanks for reading and commenting!!

Wow... life lessons from the most unexpected places! I'm so glad she was able to hear what the hermit crab had to tell her.

That Ethan is a jackass... I've no idea what she saw in him... I'm guessing he was hot and a good lay, and she was young enough that still mattered to her. He reminds of an old joke...

Q. What do you call a musician without a girlfriend?

A. Homeless and hungry.

Ha! Yep, that's life with Ethan all right. I imagined him as charming and yes, hot. It felt good to write about her recognizing that that is not enough and she deserves better! Thanks for commenting. :)
