"Here is perfect," Lily answered, letting go of his arm so she could set the bag down and dig the blanket out from under the bottle of wine. The wind worked for her a little and the blanket flapped out, unfolding as she set it down on the sand. The ends would flip up, but she figured it wouldn't matter much once they were sitting down.

She sat on the edge, then kicked off her sandals, leaving them beside the blanket before she curled her legs under her. She left the wine in the bag for now, instead waiting for Delta to join her as she looked out toward the ocean. "I think I'd like to take you surfing sometime," she decided, her gaze shifting from the waves back toward him.
