The Quiet Cove
When the tide began to fall, Maia and her cousin Eli followed a track down to a rocky cove near the coast. Rain from the night before had left the path clammy, cool and damp beneath their shoes. At the water’s edge, Maia spotted a solitary seal resting on a flat rock, with no other seals nearby. They watched from a respectful distance. The seal lifted its head, then settled again with a lethargic sigh. Eli expected it to dive into the sea, but Maia explained that it might simply be resting. The quiet scene felt serene; even the gulls seemed far away. A sudden gust sent a spray of water over the rocks. Eli’s jacket was impervious to the droplets, so he stayed dry. Maia’s thin jumper was not. She stepped back, laughing, as the seal slipped smoothly into the water. Its movement was so nimble that, a moment later, only ripples showed where it had been. On the walk home, Eli said the cove had been unremarkable at first glance. Maia disagreed. To her, noticing the small details had made the visit memorable.
