It had been dark at the beach for hours, he hadn't been smoking much and it wasn't headlights-but before she turned away, he could swear he saw light falling on her face, the orange light just after sunset that catches a face turned to the west, watching the ocean for someone to come in on the last wave of the day, in to shore and safety.
( Thomas Pynchon )
