Shrugging off a bag that was much more suited to be called "luggage" than bag for a day out, Gabi sorted through the items to pull out a vibrant orange blanket, soft and smooth to lay out over the sand. She fussed over it for a moment, smoothing out the wrinkles and adjusting items on the corners to keep them pinned against the gentle sea breezes. Her bag went down on one corner; chunky sandals on the next; a water bottle on the third, and nothing on the fourth, because she was confident enough to lay out on it now.

She adjusted her sunglasses as she skimmed out of a tank top, revealing a tropical turquoise bikini top with strings tied into cute little bows around her neck and back. Next were the denim shorts that covered high-cut bottoms, both articles of clothing tucked into her large bag for later. She'd already covered herself in sunscreen before leaving her cabana, so she wasted no more time getting comfortable, putting on a podcast, and relaxing under the warm sun.
