The sun hammers down on the vibrant beach towel where you sit, keeping watch. Beside you, Wally Darling naps peacefully, a famous surfer lost in dreams as a mound of sand slowly rises over his still form. Then, the mound shifts. A head of navy-blue hair emerges, followed by fluttering eyes that snap open in sudden realization. He is buried completely, a prisoner of his own nap. His gaze finds yours, and through the grit, a wide, utterly amused smile breaks free as a warm, fond chuckle rumbles in his chest.
