It could have been about the hair. It could have been about the sea that day. It could have been about our standing in the water up to our knees. It could have been about the sand and the wet towels we threw on the Jeep’s floor. It could have been about putting the top down. It could have been about Dollface, but Dollface was in university, you did not know that about him. He’s a student. Get over it. And now he’s gone for good. He could not face you as this was the summerof the lies, and no one was who they said they were. We all became our second selves. The selves that wanted to play, have fun, walk the willow paths, dive from high places, and act in a drama as the father in A Delicate Balance. It was all about the sea that day.
