It took some time for K’tanya to find a spot on the beach. It needed to be close enough to the water so they would get a breeze, yet not get wet when the tide started rising. There needed to be a cabana nearby, but no children running around to kick sand onto their towels. In short, it was a place that was practically nonexistent on such a hot day, but somehow she managed to find it just the same.

Still, she frowned. “Something’s missing.”

That’s when he pulled out the beach umbrella.

K’tanya smiled. Now it was truly perfect.
