Early Morning on the Beach

Salma finds Leo on the beach before anyone is up: what do you love doing in the morning, I love swimming, the water is calm, I love sleeping, and yet you're here, I love walking on the sand before the heat, I love sitting by the water and talking, let's walk now and talk tonight.
