Saying goodbye to the sun
|
He'd chosen Aruba, a sun-lit island of beautiful bodies, lots of alcohol, and plenty of time to really reflect on the idea of giving it all up. He rose with the dawn, and spent every day, all day, on the beach with the sun on his skin, browning him like a berry. He flirted outrageously with the handsome bartender at the tiki hut on the beach, but he never did anything more than wink salaciously. He had no interest in anyone other than Ben.
The sun, though, that was something he'd miss. He can feel the warmth of it all the way to his bones. He loves what it does to his hair and his flesh. He loves squinting into it, and the smell of suntan lotion. Ben told him he'd find a way to get Orli back in the sun one day, but he knows that's just going to be a fantasy. But he takes a million photographs of the sunrise and the sunset, hoping for the perfect one to turn into a mural on a wall of their home.
By the time he's ready to fly home, he knows he's ready to make the final step, to be eternal, immortal, undying, and he's ready to say goodbye to the life he's known so far. He's coming home with something new though - a sun tattoo.
