In our group text the night before we had decided to meet at Otter rock at 8 AM. We were all coming from different places and would arrive at roughly the same time so decided to surf together.

Now I have no caffeine and no fuel. I think I might leave. UGH.”

“Don’t leave!” I immediately replied, “I am making coffee. I will bring you one and I have lots of food. I will be there in 15 minutes.”
