The Borrowed Coat

The Borrowed Coat

Lily bought a vintage wool coat from a thrift shop on a freezing afternoon. When she slipped her hands into the deep pockets, she found they were entirely lined with soft, warm sand. She reached deeper and her fingers brushed against cool seawater. When she pulled her hand out, it was wet, and a perfect, pink seashell rolled out onto the snow. No matter how cold the winter wind blew, the coat kept her wrapped in the permanent warmth of a July beach.
