She lay blissfully in his arms, the smell of his aftershave blended with the sweet smell of the sea and the evening air. Sounds of sleepy domestics preparing to sleep, and nocturnal animals awaking to enjoy their nightly routine. But she just lay in his embrace. They were totally oblivious of the world, the future, the past, the now. He learnt forward and kissed her hair, exhaling the scent of her coconut shampoo. "Beautiful" he said. He was crazy about her, as she was him. She smiled, and pushed her head into his neck. The stars concealed them as the night grew darker and more mysterious. She wrapped her blanket around them both and slowly dozed off to sleep.
