His towel was about five metres away and he stepped over to fetch it. Flicking the sand off – but, thoughtfully, not into Jason's face – he spread his towel next to Jason's and sat down on it facing the same way Jason faced, looking out across the scintillating blue of the bay. He produced a pair of Dolce and Gabbana dark glasses and put them on. Jason didn't have any dark glasses and found himself squinting into the glare.

Jason grinned at him. He instinctively liked the other man.
