@softanon 🥰 thank you! Sorry this took me so long to reply to; I couldn't decide which direction to take it but in the end, of course, had to go with these guys:
There was always sunshine on days like this.
They were in Florida, sure, but it was more than that, more like a bright glow warming him from the inside and beaming out to every passerby. It was cheesy and a little dangerous to admit—because this whole thing still felt surreal and precarious sometimes—but Ben was really happy, light on his feet like the sensation itself was carrying him along. He ignored the curious look Frankie shot him and they continued down the sidewalk, bumping shoulders companionably and hustling to catch up when Fish's daughter looked back impatiently from her little-girl trot ahead.
"Come on, we’ll be late," she yelled.
"There’s no late to the beach, baby," Frankie called back, but he grabbed Benny's hand and they raced after her, laughing all the way.
