The moonlight was seductive. It lay across the water like a transparent veil across a woman’s hair. We walked in and out of the foam at the edge of the water, splashing each other and dashing about like children; we shared one more glass of sangria at the cabana on the opposite end of Playa Caracol. And we danced, slowly, just outside the pool of light emanating from the open patio of the hotel’s cantina—the strolling trio of mariachis outdoing themselves on love songs, or so it seemed.
“I don’t—” I whispered into his shirt collar when he’d brought me up suddenly against him.
“Shhh,” he held me even closer as we swayed in the breeze and the moonlight, the waves tickling our ankles when we strayed toward the surf. “Let’s just be,” he said, burying his face in my hair. “For a few moments, let’s just be.”
