“They enjoyed some time on the beach before a light shower drove them back to the cottage, laughing in the rain.”
― Anne Allen, The Ghost of Seagull Cottage: Inspired by The Ghost and Mrs Muir

“It took him a minute to register what I said, but when he did, he threw his head back and
laughed as we walked to lunch. I loved that about him, how his eyes crinkled shut with
complete confidence that the world would wait for him.
-Andy and the Extroverts”
― Jessica K. Foster, Andy and the Extroverts
