Heather's at the beach with her parents and siblings' families when her ex-fiancé Nick and his family show up.  Nick called off their wedding a month before they were to say the vows, claiming that he needed to go off and study a group of birds for three months.  Even after a year, the feelings are still there, including some new ones like anger, resentment, embarrassment, and loss.  Can Nick persuade Heather to give him another chance or will she dig her heels in the sandy shores?This was another sweet story from Lisa Scott.  The story is funny at times and sad at other times.  The dynamics between the two meddling families were very true to life.  I loved the quirky father and the family's loyalty to him regardless of being a little kooky.  The romance focuses more on resolving past issues and recalling happy memories of the relationship rather than building a new one.  I would have expected these two people to have grown during the year they were apart, but that wasn't addressed in the story.  As with other Lisa Scott short stories, this is simple but well-written 'flirt' and maybe a 45 minute read.
