[The camera clicks on in the interior of a wood-board hut on the beach. Its door is open to display a beautiful waterside sunset but, as the viewer is shown around, it's the internal details that become the focus. The walls are lined with racks of gleaming surfboards, on gleaming rails, on wood scrubbed and varnished until it's started... yes,

[perspectiveguy]

HUGE clue, dude. I mean, I just mean -- never mind, I don't even know what to - how to --

[Well that's a weird comment. Someone has been too busy cleaning to check the network.]

...I'm not sure she'd be into that. Messy.

[This is not here, of course. But... sigh. She's just giving up, it seems easier.]

[ At first she just stares... which is not something he can see, but you know... ]

[peopletalktome]

[ My that is a stupendously clean shack... she recognizes not just Grade-A cleaning products at work--professional that is--but the same effort, plus some... ]

[peopletalktome]

[ Wait........what did he say....or rather write in the sand again?

...blinking, it's happening. ]

[peopletalktome]

[ The gleaming distracted her.

And that's not even a lie. ]

[sciencedaughter]

That is...

[so beautifully clean...]

Rather touching.

[worksmart]

You think so?

[Both pleased and surprised.]

I just hope it has the same effect on her.

[sciencedaughter]

I wish you... luck.

I'll let you know how it goes. Not sure how I top it if this doesn't work. Sky writing?
