And now my boy's in love. All hearts and flowers. But, doesn't it freak you out that she used to change your diapers? I mean, when you think about it, the first woman you boned is the closest thing you've ever had to a mother. Doing your mom and trying to kill your dad. Hm. There should be a play.

She pulls her feet in closer. Sand pushing up against her reminds her to luxuriate in its warmth, and she sifts the fine grains through her fingers. The water is a regular hiss and slap against sand and stone. It whispers naptime to her, but she fights it, because she can hear him squeezing orange juice in the kitchen. There'll be champagne in it, because there's been champagne in every drink of the past few days ... unless there was rum.
In the moment before he joins her she memorizes blue against blue, the sea against sky, crystal against eternity.

(edited because I "basically" use the word "basic" to the point of "basic" death.)

I just got hired by one of the biggest lighting design companies in the country to write press releases--$300 a pop!
Not exactly the Great American Novel, but a paying writing gig!
