“Until nightfall.” That’s what we said to each other. At that moment, there was only us left, this orange glow to light our way and this feeling of being alone at the end of the world.

She dried her damp, salty hair by twirling it around with her feet on her skateboard after each session. The wind seemed to accompany her in her dance.

It was very cold, it was late, but we had decided to jump into the water no matter what the weather said. And that day, the sky wanted to reward us.

I stayed there for maybe 30 minutes or an hour, I don’t remember, watching the waves because the atmosphere was so unreal.
