Monday morning, quarterly review, a pen in her hand and a very convincing nod. Somewhere around the fourth slide the part of her that matters logged off and drifted somewhere warm with a current.
Her body is present and accounted for. The important part is floating face up over a reef and will not be back before lunch.
The coworker whose vacation auto-reply was written before the trip was booked. The work friend who can say an entire sentence with one look across a conference table. March is long for anyone with a desk and a window, and The Tide Pool is where she keeps her real calendar.
Pods swim together, eat together, and show up at each other's birthdays with wet hair, and this is the shirt you buy in two. The Comfort Colors 6014 is a heavyweight 6.1 oz long sleeve in 100% USA-grown ring-spun cotton, garment-dyed for that faded, sea-worn color that looks like it has already been on a few tides. A relaxed unisex cut and rib cuffs keep it cozy for the first cold lake walk of the year (the one nobody else wanted to take). It gets softer every wash, which is more than the ocean promises. Mermaid Dayz made it for the one who holds your tow-float and your secrets.
