Once Melanie has completes her tasks in the kitchen, she joins Avery out on the deck for a smoke. “There is nobody out there on the beach.. it’s amazing.. it’s like we have it all to ourselves” Avery said, in amazement.

Melanie takes a drag of her cigarette and exhales slowly.. leaving a plume of smoke lingering in the air. She watches as it dissipates into thin air. Avery watching the surf, is not phased one bit by her smoking.. It doesn’t even bother him at all, not even the smell.

“What do you say, we go for a walk on the beach.? It will be fun” Melanie suggests.

“Yeah.. finish up and we will go down..” Avery replies.

Melanie takes a few quick drags, and exhales briefly through her nose. She puts out the cigarette and follows Avery’s lead, down the steps, at the opposite side of the deck.

Once she has made it down the steps, she leaves her shoes at the bottom. She won’t be able to walk in sand, with those stylish shoes on. Avery joins her, a barefoot stroll would be a nice idea.
