But not just any water—the ocean. The way the waves of salt water felt when they crashed into her skin, or the way the ocean breeze tossed her long blonde hair around. All she ever wanted was to be in the water, or near it while sitting on the beach. The ocean was her happy place. While she lived a quiet life, spending her days out on the water fishing, she was concealing a secret, one that only a few people knew. When a beautiful brunette woman with the most amazing brown eyes entered her life one night, pieces of the puzzle began to surface, and more questions began to form. Could the mysterious woman she sees sitting alone at the beach at night hold the key to the mystery that is her life?
