The sun setting off the ocean was beautiful. We took our shoes off and walked barefoot in the sand. After a while, we found a nice little spot to sit and watch the rest of the sunset. It was a clear night, but it was a getting a little cool. The breeze off the water was just enough to give her the shivers. I put my arm around her and we sat in silence for a moment.
It’s funny, I hardly knew this girl and yet here we were, watching a sunset like some old couple. It was fine with me, taking her out somewhere was a luxury I could not afford at the moment. Besides, sometimes less is more. I just hoped she wasn’t looking for any grandiose gestures of affection. I certainly didn’t need anything fancy, I was happy just to spend time with her.
