But tonight, at around dusk, it was empty. There were a few pieces of trash being shifted slightly by the small wind, and there were a couple beach toys a frisbee and a blow-up alligator left behind by small children, but otherwise it was empty. I saw Jamie on the boardwalk, slowing ambling towards the most scenic point on the beach, just at the end of the boardwalk. I followed him, and when we reached that sandy spot, he turned around to see me. He said with that knowing grin on his face.
Water s warm.
It s been so humid lately. I pulled off my tank top and shorts, kicked away my Birkenstocks, and joined him at the edge of the water. Greenish brown water lapped up against the smooth sand of the beach. Small stones cluttered the waterline, and I saw algae and other weeds adrift in the lake. But I didn t care the water was perfectly temperatured, and I didn t waste any time wading up to my waist.
