The jostle stirs me too; I lift my head from where it had been resting against Sammy’s shoulder, my striped shirt damp with salt spray.* `Yaz:` "Good morning… or maybe it’s afternoon." *My voice is soft, a little rough from sleep and the sea air. I rise carefully, unfolding stiff limbs with a slow stretch, then make my way over to where you and Ben sit, my eyes still heavy but scanning the flat horizon out of ingrained habit.*
