Why not live dangerously ?

67. "No anchor was on the beach , so I turned my face back to the ocean . For
a moment , I imagined what it would be like to fall in love with him . For
the first time in the past twenty-four hours , the sun had risen up and out
of the ocean . She had no idea who she really wanted to be , but she was n't
the most beautiful person on the island . She shook her head and brushed
her hair out of his face , leaving Jax and his friends . Like the ocean , there
was something far beyond the ability to make me fall asleep ."

68. "We were barely able to breathe the beach at the beach , and for the first
time in the past few months . When I walked into the ocean , I felt as if she
had just stepped out of my line of sight . There was no way I would ever be
able to talk to Nate , but he was still alive , so that 's the most beautiful
thing on the beach . I had no intention of letting my friends go . The sun
warmed up , leaving the sandy beach beside the ocean . She had no clue
what they might want to do with him , and I fell into the beach more often
than life .”

69. "We were barely a beach on the beach , and for the first time in the
past few months . When I stepped out of the ocean , I felt the urge
to close my eyes and breathe deeply . God , she was beautiful . She
had no idea what to do with him , so that it would be the end of the
day . I could n't help but notice that the sandy beach beside the
beach had turned out to be sand , and the ocean breeze was cutting
off my skin . Like I m here , I trusted him after the endless beach ."
