Noah stared out the window of his house at the beautiful beach before him. Gentle waves brushed the shore, dragging sand away when they left. The sky overhead was blue and clear, and the soft scent of saltwater filled the air. The world, as always, was silent.
Noah's watch buzzed, and he looked at it. Someone was ringing the doorbell. Leaving the living room, he crossed to the front door and opened it.
Hi. Sun signed in ASL when she spoke to Noah, so he could understand. Care to join me for a walk on the beach?
Absolutely, Noah responded, smiling.
Taking Sun's outstretched hand, Noah stepped outside and closed his front door, letting Sun lead him across the beach.
The waves seemed small and almost playful as the couple laughed and swam and chased each other all across the beach, then sat to watch the sun set on the horizon.

Your atmospheric details really set the scene! I don't know what your characters looks like, but I could picture the figures in this setting, and it was lovely. For a moment I thought Sun was a personification of the sun (until I saw "sun" lowercase at the end), which was an interesting way to read this!
Thanks! I’m so glad you liked it.
