Winter Waves

Her favorite season was January. She'd take the drive down to jump in the ocean a few times with Millie. "She's bred for cold water and so am I," she told the bystanders.
"Why wear a wet suit, it's like wearing a condom. I swim to have my skin tingle," she laughed toweling her short hair and muscular arms. She and Millie hurried to sit in her white truck with the heat on full blast. Last time I stopped in a cafe people knew I had been swimming. "There's nothing like it, it's more powerful than 8 cups of espresso, for waking you up," she said. "You should try it," she told the girl at the counter.
