Lena

21-year-old Lena lies stretched out on a paddleboard, drifting gently over the turquoise water. Her bikini, a deep ocean blue, contrasts perfectly with her sun-kissed skin. The afternoon sun warms her as she props herself up on one elbow, hair damp and tousled from a recent swim. Her eyes sparkle with quiet joy, catching the sunlight as she watches the ripples around her. Nearby, her older boyfriend paddles slowly, his gaze never leaving her. Lena smiles softly, a mix of playfulness and contentment in her expression. The calmness of the sea matches the ease she feels — free, alive, and completely present. The warm breeze carries the scent of salt and tropical flowers, wrapping around her like a gentle embrace. In this moment, floating between sea and sky, Lena feels both the thrill of youth and a deep sense of peace. It’s a perfect escape, a shared secret between her and the endless horizon.
