A perfect evening
Random words: 144 baby; 145 cool; 146 act; 147 yellow
The sun dipped below the horizon, casting a warm glow over the sea. The waves kissed the sand, and seagulls rode on the salty breeze.
“Isn’t it beautiful?” Joanne said, cradling their baby. The little one cooed, mesmerized by the colors.
“Definitely,” Craig replied, adjusting his sunglasses. “Evenings like this make everything feel right.”
They sat there, the little family, watching the sun go down. The baby’s tiny fingers reached for the sky, as if trying to touch the yellow orb.
A cool breeze, a precious child, a couple’s true love. It was like the closing act in a play.
