Now that the sunlight is here again, I’m ready for beach sand to scatter all over my doorway. For my bathing suit to never fully dry.

I’m ready for the house to smell like salt and sunscreen. For perfumes to give way to repellents.

I’m ready for dinners at 8pm because I won’t be home before then. For cold fruit and easy pasta to be my go-to meal.

Ready for sunrays that reach the far corners of the room. For skies that don’t go dark before bedtime.
