This moment was perfect. Pure perfect. She wanted to capture everything about it and keep it forever, but there was far too much atmosphere to capture in a photo. So, she kept the moment as a memory instead, and planned to never forget it.
Alex couldn't hear any of the sounds around her, but she could imagine them. She could imagine the gentle hum of laughter and chatter buzzing around her ears. She could imagine the calming lap of waves crashing on top of one another, as if they were playing a game of chase. The one thing she couldn't imagine was spending the day with anyone other than Sam. The beach was crowded with people, each blissfully living their lives, yet only one she cared so deeply about. Feeling the warmth of the sun on her back and the sand between her toes, she turned over to look at him. His eyes were closed, but she knew them all too well anyway. There were a deep brown colour. His skin was slightly tanned, and his hair scruffy yet lovable.
As he felt her watching him, he opened his eyes and smiled at her, that adorable smile of his. He leaned closer and their lips touched for a second, just a second. He had kissed her thousands of times before, but never like this. As she had mentioned before, it was perfect. Pure perfect.
