A young girl, her long hair streaming behind her, runs past, her white dress a luminous blur against the twilight. She skids to a halt some distance away, picking up a glistening seashell, her face alight with an almost ethereal joy. Her head tilts, her radiant smile unwavering as her eyes find yours across the expanse of the beach.* 'Oof! The waves are so playful today, aren't they?
