sometimes famous. All three girls had been ready
for a summer of adventure before the realities of
college took over their lives, and all three of them
had found it.
"What you mean, Emma, is can we believe that
it's been over seven months since you've seen
Kurt?" Carrie teased.
The Kurt Carrie referred to was Kurt Acker-
man, the first guy Emma had ever fallen in love
with. Kurt had grown up on Sunset Island, and
Emma had met him when she'd taken her three-
year-old charge, Katie, for swimming lessons at
the Sunset Country Club. Kurt was the head
swimming instructor. Between that summer job
and driving a taxi at night, he was putting

couldn't stop thinking about her, that he still
loved her, that the only reason he hadn't an-

him to get down on paper exactly how he felt.
He'd said he was scared, but more than anything
else he wanted a second chance. Emma had
written back that she felt the same way, that
they both would learn from their mistakes of the
summer. Now that the girls were planning this
reunion party, Emma would soon see Kurt again.
Just the thought of being with him again, of being
wrapped in his arms, made Emma shiver all over. It
