Ami Mizuno loved the beach. Her father brought her to the beach when she had been a child. She came to enjoy the bright golden yellow sun in the sky, the cool ocean breeze in the air, the deep blue ocean water waves that came up to her ankles when she stepped into the water, and the gritty yellow sand beneath her feet. Ami's father's delighted in showing Ami the relaxation of the serenity and the tranquility of the peace that one could feel at the beach for he wanted his daughter to enjoy it just as much as he did.
Ami's father made a big day for his daughter whenever he took her to the beach. He brought beach towels for them to sit on, a cooler full of cans of soda pop for them to drink and potato chips and sandwiches to eat while they were there, a different colored beach ball to play with, a pail and a bucket for Ami to make sandcastles with, and sunscreen to keep Ami from getting sun burn while they were there. Ami came to wear a blue bathing suit while her father wore blue swimming trunks. She did hate having to put on sun lotion for to her it took time away to her to be in the water. The water ended up calling out to her as if it were a part of who she actually was for she felt at home in the ocean.
After she had played in the water and built a big sandcastle with her father, it was time for them to collect seashells. Both would wait until the ocean waves would wash them up. It came to be a scavenger hunt between them to find the best ones they could find.
"Daddy, look at this one!" Ami would say whenever she found a good seashell and held it up for him to admire her treasure too.
"It is perfect, Ami," he would tell her as she would drop it in the pail to take home to show her mother who rarely went with them due to work, but Saeko would admire them and tell Ami she did a good job on what beautiful seashells she had found to add to her big collection of them whenever she got home from work.
"They are beautiful, sweetheart," Saeko would tell her. "You have a good eye when it comes to collecting seashells."
Once her father did find a seashell that had a big hole in it. He ended up coming up with the idea to make it into a seashell necklace for Ami to wear and found a silver chain with which to put under it. Ami fell in love with it and wore it often until the divorce between her parents. Afterwards she gave up wearing it and put it in her jewelry box as while it meant something to her that her father gave her, but she could not bear to wear it anymore as it reminded her of a time when he was there for her and then he walked out of her life.
The seashell necklace had washed up on the shore of the ocean and like the ocean he disappeared from her life just like the ocean waves washed away on the beach.
