B Natural answer

I'll never forget a sunset I saw on after a long day of walking. We were tired, so we just sat on the sand and watched the light change. Slowly, and the waves started to look silver. For a few minutes, , as if the whole place was breathing more slowly. Nobody talked much, but nobody needed to. It was one of those moments when you stop checking your phone and just look around. I still picture it clearly whenever life feels too busy.
