Jessica K. Foster
“I didn't look down, but my face flooded with heat I hoped he couldn't see in the shade of the dock. I was wearing a white shirt. How rude of him to mention it like I was in a wet T-shirt contest.
I cleared my throat. "Does that distract you?" My voice came out lower than it should have.
"You've always distracted me," he breathed, his lips descending.”
Jessica K. Foster, Andy and the Summer of Something

Joshua Krook
“The sea! The sea! How many years had it been since I’d stepped onto the shoreline, dipped my toes into the water, sunken head-first into the waves? I had dreamt of it often. This exact moment. Walking here, with the soft sensation of sand underfoot and the bright sun overhead, the chirping of seagulls and that endless expanse of coastline. Lost from the world. From time. From all of it.”
Joshua Krook , Black Friday 2050: The powerful psychological thriller set in a terrifying high-tech future
