“Ma’am, can I help you with something?”
The hunky guy I was ogling discreetly covered his goods.
Not wanting to creep anyone out, I smiled politely. “Oh, nothing. Just enjoying the view. I’m not actually going in.”

With a jolt, I realized I was suspended from somewhere high up.
Below me, angry waves smashed against sharp rocks.
