The night breeze was cool.
Norris Moore went to the store selling fireworks and bought a bundle of sparklers for herself, then took a cab to the beach.
As Norris got out of the car, she could see a figure standing on the beach from far away. She hesitated for a moment, then ran a few steps toward the figure, recognizing his profile and called out subconsciously: "Alex?"
The man held a cigarette in his hand, and upon hearing her voice, he slowly turned around, revealing his charming face.
When Alex Miller saw her, his face broke into a smile, and he began to walk in her direction, one foot deep in the sand, the other shallow.
It was then that Norris noticed his pant legs were completely wet, having no idea how long he had been standing there.
Norris rushed over and pulled him ashore. Looking at Alex's lips, which were slightly pale from the cold, she asked in annoyance, "What are you doing standing there like an idiot?!"
