Rogue Wave - Isabel Jolie - Bog

Sometimes, out of nowhere, comes the rogue wave... You can ride it, or get pulled under.

I roamed the untamed ocean.
Set out to play hero conservationist.

Those high seas? They remain lawless for many reasons.
Over ten years, I saw the worst that humanity has to offer.
And accomplished... nothing.

The futility of it all left me disillusioned. Numb.
I returned to the island of my childhood summers.
All I wanted was to lick my wounds. Hide. Regroup.

Like a rogue wave, an idealistic beauty thrust herself into my world.
Tells me we can make a difference.
We can save the oceans.
We''re one with the sea.

Her naivety might be charming if it wasn''t like looking in a time-warped mirror.
Her natural beauty might be appealing if she wasn''t a college student.

The last thing she needs is a summer romance with a burned-out wreck like me.

She''s too young. She''s got everything in front of her.

And me? I''ve got commitments. And a past.

She promises release.
No need for guilt.
I aim for the crest, for a smooth, fun ride.
Unfortunately, my past comes calling, and we both get pulled under.
