You went for swimming and snorkelling and the things you saw in the brochure. You came home with the evenings. The afternoon swim, the long shower to get the salt off, the slow walk to wherever you decided to eat, knowing in advance you would linger over dessert. The day shrank down to twenty minutes at the end. The next year, when somebody asks about the trip, those are the minutes you remember.
You watch Mount Agung go from peak to silhouette in about twenty minutes, across the strait from a beach on the western side of Bali. The colour comes in bands: peach, lilac, a strip of pale blue still left from the day. You will go home in three days, or four, or five, depending on whether you change the flight. You will not know until the morning of.
A natural fit for Find Me by André Aciman, Beautiful Ruins by Jess Walter, or any book finished at a restaurant table you do not want to leave yet.
There are a few minutes after sunrise and a few before sunset when the sky stops being a sky and becomes a wash of colour. The light is no longer pointing at anything. The contrast disappears. The air seems to hold its breath. You are at the window with a coffee or at the edge of a beach with damp feet, and you do not move for a while, because you know how short these minutes are and how long the rest of the day is.
