Perhaps it’s because the sea is never the same: sometimes it’s a faraway murmur, like holding a conch to her ear; other times it’s a thrashing and crashing that shakes everything in its path – nature’s version of stadium rock.

“The overriding memory you have of your dad is this all-powerful, tyrannical man. And that’s the version of him you’re still carrying inside you. But that’s not who he is any more. He’s an old man.

As her hands lifted to frame his face, tracing the rough stubble she found there, she felt his momentary shock and it made her reckless. Her fingers arrowed into his black hair to pull him closer, urging him to go on. There was a battle waging inside him. Somewhere in the back of his mind, he felt the desperation in the kiss, could still taste the salty tears on her skin.”
