Done Peopling ~ Surface Hours Are Over
She did the party, the small talk, the 'we should get lunch.' She was lovely the entire time. Now she needs a long stretch of quiet water where nobody asks what she does for a living.

Dawn swimmers and dock sitters agree on one thing: the air after the water is colder than the water. This garment-dyed crewneck from Comfort Colors is ring-spun cotton in rich, lived-in color, with a relaxed fit and dropped shoulders that pull on over damp hair without an argument. Double-needle stitching holds through years of pod birthdays and beach bonfires (and the bachelorette weekend nobody photographs honestly). Preshrunk and made to keep its shape, it is the layer the whole pod borrows and nobody returns. Mermaid Dayz made it for the one who comes out of the water last.
