The sun beat down on her. She could see it even through her closed eyes. Her eyelids turned it from a blinding light to a bright orange-red glow.

"It's time to go!"
With her headphones off, she could hear the splash of water and the delighted screams of children. She was no longer alone, lost in the sounds and the heat and the imagined solitude.

Her lips curved up in a well-rehearsed smile. "Yes. Okay."
The heat clung to her skin as she made her way from the sandy beach back to reality.
