Kara, Ruby, and I were best friends. We dug in the sand at Agate Beach for smooth red, green, and blue agates and the brighter shards of bottle-green and blue beach sea glass. At
low tide, we’d walk carefully along the edges of tide pools, looking for hermit crabs, sea snails, and starfish in pink, orange, red, and purple. We’d gently poke sea anemones to feel them close slowly over our fingers, like soft, cold mouths. When the tide came in, we waited as long as we dared before running back to shore.
