Journal #6 - Authorial Distance

1. It was a hot summer day and nearly every single person in New York City was at the beach. On individual in particular stood out in her bright red bikini and slim, natural figure. Many of the single men were swooning over her as she walked through the booths and concession stands nearby.
2. She went over to an ATM, swiped a credit card by the name of Kora Wilkes and gently slid it back into her wallet and dumping her wallet into her straw beach bag, punching in her PIN and withdrawing enough money to feed a party of three grown and hungry men.
3. Kora looked around, wondering where her fiancée had decided to park the car, considering he was taking so long. Ten whole minutes had passed and she still had no sight of him.
4. Kora decided to keep walking around, feeling a bit shy about having so many guys gawk over her without her fiancée there to shoo them away. She continued to look around the concession stands, finding some things that was of interest to her, including a cute bear that was the size of an eight-year-old boy.
5. Is my John around..? I want the bear... I wonder if he'll get mad at me for buying this cute thing... Kora looked around suspiciously, then bought the bear, cuddling up against it even though the heat was excruciating. She looked up from the bear to see her fiancée raining an eyebrow at her, then leaning down to kiss her on the cheek. Kora giggled, then stood up.
