Jeff smiled after the kiss.

"Yeah...he was. If it wasn't for him, I wouldn't have found out about all of this."

  She hugged him, and said softly "I wish I could have met him."

Jeff sighed as he hugged Candy. "Yeah....Dad always thought that Gramps was kind of a loon...but he was right..."

  Candy smiled, and said "Sometimes, the sanest people around are the ones that do their best to hide that . . . "

Jeff smiled back.

"Yeah....there's a lot more to this Cryomancer stuff than what I had found out. Which is why I'll have to go back to that temple at some point. But.....heh...we're here in the Bahamas....you, me....the nice water..."

  Candy smiled, and said "That we are.  We are, indeed, in the bahamas where the weather and the water are wonderful!"

Jeff held his finger up for a moment.

"Well..you know who else is beautiful? YOU are.." he said as he leaned closer to her.

  She blushed, and leaned into him, giving him a kiss that promised all sorts of possibilities.

Jeff returned that kiss with an equal fervor.

Wow..any more like that..and I'll probably melt.."

  She grinned, and said softly "Isn't having a teleporter for a girlfriend great?"

Jeff smiled at Candy.

"OH yeah....not only do you have the knowledge of a travel agent...you also can travel to those destinations too....I hit the jackpot with you.."

  She laughed, and said "Given my talents, I thought it worth spending a couple years as an international stewardess.  It will certainly pay for itself now.  And with the mindworms, I can get an image and take us anywhere someone on the mindworm net has seen too."

"It's a pretty cool talent to have," Jeff said, still grinning. "And I am really enjoying this swimming thing. Um...how long do you want to hang out here?"

 Candy chuckled, and said "We can go back whenever you're ready, so that you can dry off first?"

Jeff smiled at that.

"I really like this place. The sea, the sand..the sun.."

  Candy giggled, and said "And best of all, good company."

Jeff smiled at Candy.

"Yes, the company is awesome."

  Candy grinned, and said "When we're both dry, we should probably head back to Weston . . . "

Jeff nodded, though he was clearly content to be here at this moment.

"Yeah, you're right. We might have to come back for a weekend though."

  Candy giggled, and said "Now that's a plan!  We'll have to pack the stuff for a weekend camping trip then."

"It's a date then," Jeff replied, smiling. "Um....are there any towels around?"

  Candy laughed, and said "No, I didn't grab a beach bag."

Jeff shrugged.

"Guess we'll have to dry off the old fashion way..in the sun.'

  She grinned, and teased gently "You don't sunburn that fast, do you?"

Jeff couldn't help but chuckle. "Sunburn? No, probably not. ESPECIALLY now.."
