Catherin sat on the hood of Christopher’s rusted old Chevy, her knees drawn to her chest, chin resting on them. Her dark curls tumbled over her shoulders, catching the golden flecks of the setting sun. Christopher leaned beside her, elbows on the roof, eyes fixed on the horizon where the water met the sky in endless blue.
