   Summary

   Jonathan would try for many days after to pinpoint the tipping point. The moment the fight turned. Late at night, he would puzzle over it. The transition was seamless.

   One second, they were grabbing with anger, and the next, desperation. It remained aggressive, always. But, somewhere between those bouts of grappling, the touches turned searching. Holding.

    

   What if that confrontation by the sea had ended a little differently? What if the fight had turned to something more?
