Mary was happy. 
 
 This Woods cafe by Bayview was where he took them on a first of many dates. A year later, and they still came to this refuge by the ocean often. There lay an immense, pool of salt water that spanned towards great distances, and the drive to this Bayview cafe was only a few minutes from the apartment. The two had gone through great distances of their own to make this relationship work, but they were free to be with each other fully. And what a time it was to be in love. 
 
 After graduating college, Mary became a nurse for the disabled. She was appreciated for her work. Appreciated at home. Appreciated on spring afternoons over a caramel mocha, on an outside table, in the ocean breeze and the company she shared this day with. Yesterday ended with a promise; 
 
 `` I'll take you to Bayview tomorrow.'' 
 
 Mary was happy. How fortunate she was to have a girlfriend who still understood how moments like these worked. An afternoon at this Woods cafe by Bayview did n't need a question. It did n't need uncertainty, or hesitation, or a scheduling conflict. This place was special, and they appreciated that. 
 
 This was just one of many dates the two would enjoy together. The two had gone through great distances to make this relationship work. There was no need for conflict anymore. Only time. And they had plenty of it to go.
