As she drove away, an undeniable ache filled her chest. She stopped the car. Something was missing. She looked back at the ocean in her side mirror. There it was. A piece of herself at the water’s edge. With a deep sigh, she turned her eyes back to the road. She kept driving. She’d have to do without that piece of herself, until her toes found their way back into the sand. Until...
