She stood there, looking at the sea

That moment when everything begins to shift.

She stood there, looking at the sea

She stayed a little longer than she had planned. Not doing anything in particular. Watching the water, letting the sun rest on her face.

She had left without overthinking it. As always. And without realising, the day started to stretch. A walk, another stop, someone who appears. Everything falls into place effortlessly.

She wasn’t quite sure when summer had begun. But it was there. In that. In not being in a rush. In staying just a little longer.
