“Oh no, you got sunburned!” Was everyone in town going to point this out to her? Joy had to bite her tongue to avoid saying something snarky. “Yeah, looks like it. I’m used to it by now.” She shrugged. “It looks pretty bad, though.

Sharon wrapped her arms around Josh's stomach as they wandered around, as if afraid that this moment would be lost if she let go. As they walked out into the backyard, there was the unmistakable sound of the waves, mingling with the salty scent of the sea carried by the wind. “Do you like the place, Josh?” Sharon asked, hoping her choice would satisfy him. “Yes,” he said, his voice deep and honest. "I like it a lot. Thank you, darling."

I got on a few episodes of that scary, fairy tale show that films in Portland, so I came down to Seaside for the weekend."

To amuse her, he didn't hesitate to push me into the sea on my birthday. … Today, the sky stretched endlessly, a flawless expanse of blue without a hint of cloud in sight.

A girl named Jasmine Fox stood on the edge of the yacht in a white dress, her eyes innocent and bright. Seeing my distressed state in the water, Jasmine delicately covered her lips and smiled sweetly. Her smile was captivating.
