Fire On the Horizon
“He needed something more stimulating, to both mind and body.Dave was a classic high-energy personality. Even now that he was safely through to the other side of adolescence, a time for a man to begin the process of settling down, he never could grasp the concept of “sitting and relaxing.” He was always doing something—and the riskier the better. He devoted ever more time and energy to building and racing those tiny, crazy-fast fiberglass boats he’d learned to build with his dad. He took them ou...t on the Sound and pushed them until the water steamed in his wake and the boat leaped and slammed through the waves, shuddering on the edge of disintegration. Then after races he’d go out to all-night parties in the Hamptons, drinking with his friends and looking for women. He found quite a few, but only one stuck, a particularly beautiful and unusually understanding woman named Alyssa.It was an ancient story. Flirtation turned into love, love turned into commitment, and a spirited young man found himself making a career and a family instead of another blender of lime daiquiris.He abandoned the bar scene for domesticity, and a job behind the controls of a fiber-optic repair ship out of the Port of Baltimore.MoreLess
