Waves tickle her toes as time seems to become endless in the distance of the sunset. She watches in awe as they sparkle in the last lingering light of another day she's spent at the seaside, seemingly never tired of it. She gets lost in the sound of the waves as they come and go slowly to reveal shells or sea dollars beneath the wet sand. She gets lost in the breeze as it gives salty caressed to her cheek and lifts her hair all around playfully. She smiles as the sun paints the sky orange and red to give the blank canvas life. She stands from where she was sitting, wet sand soaked through her oversized jean shorts, and walks along the shoreline, tiptoeing around the shiny pebbles that lie in the sand. She gives the ocean one last smile as she turns away to walk down the nearly empty sidewalk, the smell of taffy filling her senses.
The most innocent faces were the wildest.
