She's sinking when she first sees the bottle; sunlight glinting off the clear glass as it rolls in the gently crashing waves. It nestles itself at her feet and she's cradling it in her palm before she realizes what she's doing. A note gradually appears as she wipes away mud and sand. Curiosity makes her pop the cork off.
Her hand trembles lightly.
She only makes it as far as 'Dear Jack' before forcing the antique paper back into the bottle, ripping pieces of it in the process. She shoves the cork on as tears fall and throws it into the ocean, watching as it disappears from view.
