Recently nineteen, college years are now upon Hayley Barcia. But each school-end break presents an opportunity for her to return to her home here in the islands. Putting sand beneath her feet on this colorless winter day, she wanders the barren coastline of Kawela Bay, Ko’olauloa. The faded colors of the ocean compliment the patchwork of her suit, a patterned top and turquoise bottom by Forever Summer. Many would enjoy this day elsewhere but today, Hayley embraces the new found privacy of the extended winter afternoon. She daydreams, turning minutes into hours as she looks forward to the unwritten weeks ahead. Today, it is good to be home.
