  The scores were being tallied as the surfers paddled in. Rory stood near the judge's booth, waiting patiently. She'd been wearing a ball cap and dark sunglasses the entire day, trying desperately to not get recognized.

  "This is a huge surprise. Rory Eden has returned to the North Shore," the young guy next to her held up his camera. "This is going to be the comeback story of the decade."

  "I'm not…" Rory was cut off by the loudspeaker as the results were announced. Austin had just set her board down in the sand as her name was called out in first place. The official standing nearby slipped the medal over her head and she took off, jogging towards Rory, screaming with excitement.

  "That's who you should be interviewing," Rory said. "She's going to be better than I ever was."

  The reporter flashed the camera the second that Austin flung herself into Rory's arms, kissing her deeply.

  "I love you so damn much, Rory Eden!" Austin grinned.

  "Care to comment now?" he asked.

  Rory laughed. "I think you just outed me," she said to Austin, smiling and kissing her again.
