The Dominique Sea was a capricious mistress that day, her turquoise surface churning with an energy that belied her usual tranquil appearance. Each wave, a frothy crest of white against the vibrant blue, seemed to have a personal vendetta against the poor bikini-clad patrons who dared venture near the shoreline. They arrived with deceptive gentleness, whispering promises of cooling relief, only to explode in a spray of salty droplets that soaked fabric and skin with gleeful abandon. Some, bigger and bolder, crashed with a resounding boom, sending rivulets of water cascading down bronzed shoulders and pooling precariously in the curves of the bikini tops. There was a constant, playful battle being waged - the waves attempting to reclaim their domain and the bathers, laughing and shivering, determined to enjoy the unpredictable dance with the Dominique Sea.
