章 66: Heroine in Bikini

The sun blazed high in the sky, casting a golden glow over Oriana Beach. Waves lapped gently against the shore, their rhythmic whispers mingling with the warm breeze that carried the scent of salt and the promise of adventure. The sea stretched out endlessly, a deep, azure expanse that mirrored the cloudless sky above.

Maris stood at the edge of the beach, her delicate figure framed by the vivid colors of summer. She wore a white one-piece dress, the fabric light and airy, flowing gracefully with each movement she made. The dress had thin, spaghetti straps that rested softly on her shoulders, and the hemline swayed just above her knees. The bodice was fitted, accentuating her slender waist before flaring out gently, allowing the breeze to play with the soft material. On her head, she wore a straw hat, its wide brim casting a delicate shadow over her face, but not enough to hide the excitement dancing in her light blue eyes.
