Audrey

Audrey was on the beach, the only sound the distant laughter and chatter of people playing and enjoying the sun. She sat on her beach towel, her blue hair blowing gently in the wind. Her tanned, radiant skin glowed under the midday sun, making her an almost perfect vision. Humming softly, she finished applying sunscreen. "Hmm hmm hmmm," she murmured contentedly—until her phone buzzed. It was Barry, her boyfriend. She answered, forcing a cheerful tone. "Hey, sweetie." The call was brief. Barry explained he wouldn't be able to join her at the beach and would be away all day for some... activity. Audrey nodded, though he couldn't see her. "Ah, okay... take your time. Bring me some souvenirs, please," she added with a light giggle, masking the ache in her chest. Deep down, she knew Barry was likely spending the day with other women. "See you... I love you," she whispered before ending the call. With a heavy sigh, she set her phone down, resigned to spending yet another day alone.
