Every June, Riley and her family would go to Sunset Beach.  She loved going there because of the air, the wind, and the salty smell.  Usually, she would see a girl named Heidi, who would also spend the summer by the beach. 
But this year was different.  The girls were older, and the families were busy.  Riley would be alone this year. 
Riley tried to walk along the beach alone, but it was too lonely. 
She sat on the porch and rocked in the chair, but it didn't seem as magical anymore. 
She didn't know what to do. 
In the distance one morning, she saw a young girl.  Perhaps she was three years younger than Riley, who was 15 years old. 
She observed the girl picking up shells on the beach.  The girl had a bag with her, where she would put her shells after inspecting them.  Although Riley missed Heidi, she considered going to meet the girl.  
Finally, she mustered up the courage and joined her by the water.  The little girl's face lit up when Riley asked if she could accompany her.  The little girl had also felt lonely.  Now, they could walk and talk together, enjoy the beach, and start a new friendship.  
That was the beauty of the beach; it could bring people together.
