"Not the Spring Break She Expected"

Frank Howard stood in the floor-to-ceiling windows of his cliff side home, staring down at the beach below. It was spring break, yet the sands were devoid of people. Forecasts of a potential hurricane-force storm had frightened away anyone able to change their plans. And those who had come to the local motels and hotels were spending their money at the inland activities.
The storm had both changed directions and reduced in intensity. But by the time that news got out, it was too late for the potential beach goers to change their plans yet again.
Frank filled a thermos with flavored coffee. One jacket pocket was filled with treats for himself and the other with treats for Skipper, his six month old Labrador. Ten minutes later, they were stepping off the wooden stair case that connected the top of the cliff to the beach.
No sooner had they sunk their shoes and paws into the soft sand did Skipper suddenly sprint off along the edge of the cliffs. Frank called for the Lab, but the dog was gone. Frank just shook his head and leisurely started off after his four footed friend.
He was surprised when he came around a huge boulder and found Skipper happily enjoying a young woman. She was bundled up in a warm coat and hat, so Frank couldn't see her well. When he did, he was taken aback. She was younger than he'd expected and beautiful ... and Frank was quickly filled with inappropriate, lustful thoughts.
He walked over toward her, maintaining an appropriate distance as he said, "His name is Skipper."
