Week 20: Wednesday
Who: Sydni and Mircea
What: Meandering the beach; Mircea's found a new mark
When: Evening
Where: The beach
If there was one thing that put Sydni at peace, it was the ocean. And there were plenty of places to find it on the island. Even though she walked every morning, this week she had found it necessary to walk in the evening, too. She had to take a break from work to think so she could come back refreshed. She did a good job looking not distressed in classes, and she kept up on her work, so for the most part, most people didn't notice her morose mood. Why should they? She was just... quiet when she was sad. Not much of a difference from her usual self.
Walking along the beach, the brunette realized that at least now she could find beauty in things. Stooping down, she scooped up a sand dollar. She looked at a lot of shells still, but the only ones she ever kept were sand dollars. Whole ones. She loved how Christians saw them as representative of Christ's wounds, while they were also perfect pentacles. It showed how not so different the two faiths were, in her opinion. Smiling softly to herself, she cradled the fragile shell in her palm and continued her walk.
The seabreeze reinvigorated her - she didn't think there was a cleaner scent on earth - and she paused to take a deep breath. Yes, she was feeling better. She no longer felt her heart was breaking. It wasn't that she loved Charlie - she wasn't that foolish. But she had cared deeply for him, and he was easily her closest friend here. Perhaps she was foolish - it wasn't as if she hadn't been secretly hoping that somehow he'd be willing to... With a sigh, she shook the silly notions from her head. No thinking those thoughts. She was feeling better. No time for them now.
Continuing her stroll, she noticed a figure in the distance. Someone else felt the urge to ramble. No longer feeling so utterly morose, Sydni didn't steer her course away from the other person. She didn't particularly want to chat, but a quick nod and a hello were not entirely beyond her.
