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.
When the tail is in the closet, the shirt has to say it for you. The Comfort Colors 1717 is a heavyweight 6.1 oz tee cut from 100% ring-spun cotton grown in the USA, garment-dyed and soft-washed so it already feels like a tide-worn favorite on the first wear (and preshrunk, so the fit holds from June to the cold-water months). It is the tee for the long business day that ends at the lake, and for the landlocked believer whose nearest ocean is a screensaver. Soft on the skin, sovereign in the room. Mermaid Dayz prints it for the woman who has a mersona and a mortgage.
