There was a big white cloud right where the sun was supposed to be, and it was glowing like it had a halo. It's beautiful. But I don't think we'll be able to see the sunset today.
The beach was emptying out very quickly. Today is new moon and people don't want to encounter the rough sea that comes with nightfall.
She was not worried whatsoever. Not about the sea, nor about the sunset. 'I'll take your beauty as it comes' is her life motto.

After a while she sat beside me, facing the setting sun. Her face glowing like a gilded statue of a goddess.
A strong breeze began to blow and the cloud started moving very gently. Finally.
Her hair was blowing all across her face. I could smell her citrusey perfume and salty tang from being in the sea for a long time.
The cloud left the Sun with the reluctance of a lover. And the golden-pink light bathed the beauty in front of me. I have forgotten the Sun now. She was watching the sun, I was watching her.
Her eyes reflected the Sun's glory. Two little orbs with their own light.
It was the first time I realised that I had two suns in my universe, and I would do anything to keep those burning.
