"I just want to do the same thing," he said while removing his shoes.

"Copycat," I teased him.

He just smiled teasingly. I stood up and left him there, running toward the sea and stepping my feet into the water.

"Woooh, it's cold!" I shouted, hugging myself. A little later, Alzid joined me.

"It's cold! Try stepping your feet in; it's really cold," I told him. So he stepped into the water too.

"Yeah, it's cold, but it's fun, right?" he said.

I was just looking at my feet, smiling because I was happy with this simple thing. Sometimes, I feel like I find joy in the simplest things.

"If I had known this would make you so happy, I would've brought you here every day," he said.
