Summary
Joe feels it even now, how the smell of salt in the air stirs memories. He vaguely recalls the seaside and ships docking at ports as a young boy, how muscled men would carry crates and sacks filled with all the things they'd traded. He thinks he used to swim in rivers where the water ran blue and crystalline, where fish scattered at his feet when he walked by. Something about the water calls him and leaves him with an ache that stings of home.
"Are you all right?" Nicky asks in soft Italian.
Joe turns to him, the sun just missing Nicky's chair. He grins and reaches out to take Nicky's hand, to kiss the back of it.
"I was just remembering you in a pirate hat," he says.
