Sand and salt air and too much sun have tightened Rian's skin. My shell is wonderful, alive, awakened and yet thinned. As though Rian is Nearly There, yes. One shiver, one twitch and then a rush of breath over the Pacific.
The neighbors are arranging bristling fireworks for the dark.
Tomorrow Rian and Aidan shall take the train to Del Mar. An Adventure.
