The feeling was similar to when I used to go to the beach as a child and lay down at the water’s edge. The way the water-softened sand lapped beneath my body. That sensation was pleasant and dreamy enough, but soon the sand gets into your swimsuit, which you know is going to be a pain later, but nevertheless you don’t give a damn, so you lie there at the water’s edge. You’re disgusted until you take the first dip, and then once that soft sand gets a hold of you, you want to linger there forever. That feeling.
