Marine Blue on the Deck / Smartphone Wallpaper Archive

[The Marine Blue of the Deck] As the ship passed the breakwater, the wind, which had been calm in the harbor, suddenly swept across her hair. In her pocket was a blue envelope her sister had given her before she left. "Open it when land is out of sight," she had been told. The last cape disappeared beneath the clouds. Leaning against the railing, she tore open the envelope. Inside was a drawing of a ship in colored pencils, and in small letters, "Sit by the window on the way back too." It was her sister who had told her to get a window seat when she bought her ticket for the outbound journey. She refolded the paper and returned to her cabin. Outside the window, a single seagull, which had been following the ship just moments before, was now heading back towards the harbor.
