Chapter 103

• Artemy
• I watched her wander toward the ocean, watched her experience the feel of the sand for the first time. Rebecca’s steps were almost feather light, as if she was floating toward peacefulness. As she grew closer and the water rushed around her feet, I saw her shoulders relax further, and she tilted her head toward the sky.
• I’ve been to many places with beaches but never cared about it. Never thought of taking the time to feel the sand or the ocean. But watching Rebecca experience this, it showed me that sometimes we needed to be grateful for what we have.
