The sun shimmered over the calm waves as Mia spread her towel on the warm sand.
She opened a bottle of sun cream, its coconut scent mixing with the ocean breeze.
With slow, gentle motions, she rubbed it across her skin, feeling the smooth lotion melt into her sun-kissed body.
Each touch glimmered under the sunlight, like liquid gold painting her skin.
Smiling, she closed her eyes—ready to let the day wrap her in warmth and peace.
