She’s sweet; there’s nectar dripping from her lips and I’m the happiest bumblebee in the northern hemisphere. Our blanket is laid out on the beach at one of the hottest places you can hunt for sea trout, but I don’t give a damn.

We’ve known each other for some years, but this is our first real date. My espresso pot is at hand together with the best chocolate I could find in town. The sea in front of us is a giant mirror reflecting the purple sky. Far out there are waves so small that it looks like a cat has been carefully stepping across the water. We’re sitting close to each other talking a lot and kissing a bit. In the middle of a kiss something caught my eye.
