She stared at the hat for a few seconds before grinning. "thank you. I really missed this hat. Even though I have so many. All of them are important and special." She turned to watch the sea. It was choppy and it foamed. White the foam was and it reminded her of clouds. The sea was like heaven, blue with white clouds.
"Do you love the sea?" She asked suddenly and tipping her head up she smiled "I always dreamed of the sea. Every night I dreamed of waves crashing at my feet. I dreamed of blue so brilliant that I wanted to weep. I could almost smell the salty spray and hear the cry of the seagulls....but for the longest time I could not visit the sea. Now my dream is longer. It also spans the day...but...When summer ends this dream will end"
She turned to him and with her hands at her back she leaned forward "what do you dream of" and then she smiled regretfully "here I am boring you! There must be a thousand things more interesting than my ramblings"

She picked up her pink pail and placed her hat in it. For a second she stood there with the wind blowing her hair over her face. She pushed it back and she looked so fragile. She blinked and bit her lip. Her eyes moistened "I wish my dream could last forever" and she said nothing for a while "but dreams are never precious unless there is a time limit to them"

"I am Josephine. And I was here today..maybe I'll be here tomorrow Good bye" She smiled radiantly at him and went down the beach swinging her pail and holding her hat less it got lost too.
