"Erwin and Levi’s favourite holiday destination is a little cliff-top cottage overlooking the beach in a pretty seaside town. It’s picture perfect, with brightly coloured houses clustering around the golden crescent of the bay, where the ocean stretches wide and blue to the horizon. Mornings are lazy and languorous; they lie late in bed, tangled together, listening to the sound of the waves below their window. Afternoons are spent swimming or beach-combing, walking along the waterline, waves lapping at their toes. As the sun begins to set, they climb hand in hand up the path to the cottage, where they sit on the verandah, watching as the sun slips slowly into the sea in a brilliant blaze of amber and gold. Levi’s skin is still warm from the sun when Erwin leans over and kisses the taste of the sea from his lips.”
