Mornings had always been Logan’s favourite time of day. He was very much a night owl and often struggled to sleep, but there was something so calming about a sunrise, the glow filling every available space, the sense of peace it brought. So even though Logan suffered from insomnia from time to time, he couldn’t help but adore what mornings looked like, especially now he was in Somerton. Back in New York, everything was always moving, always loud and it was often overwhelming for him. But here it was just him and the beach. And Ella, of course, his loyal service dog. Right now though, she wasn’t working, not really, and he was quite content to watch her run around in the sand, chasing birds and digging in random spots. The sun had only just risen and it was cold out, but Logan didn’t mind. He was calm, there was no one about and he took the time to relax, working in his little sketchbook and glancing up every now and then to check Ella was okay.
Only when he did, she had ran over to someone in the distance. Logan let out a soft groan and set his things down, hurrying to catch up with her. He wasn’t sure who it was, or why they were out on the beach so early in the morning - maybe they had just finished a night shift or maybe they had just risen early to watch the sunrise. Whatever the reason, all Logan could think about was stopping Ella from crashing into them. She was excitable but she was also a large dog and the last thing he wanted was to cause trouble. It was with a sharp whistle and a pat to his thigh that Ella stopped and sat down, watching him carefully.
“I’m so sorry,” Logan typed on his phone, letting the app’s robotic voice speak for him. “There’s never usually anyone around so I let her run around and have fun. I hope she didn’t scare you, I know she’s big but she really is a gentle giant and a complete goofball.”
