Anne discovered, after going swimming with Ariel -- though she'd suspected it long before -- that she really liked to walk barefoot on the beach, to feel the sand between her toes and the waves lap up over her ankles when she walked close to the ocean. She might not go swimming in her underthings where anyone else could see, but she could go without her shoes and stockings, and no one would chide her for it.

"This is lovely," she said, splashing up a little water with one foot and laughing softly. "Oh, this is just what I needed, Ariel, thank you."

"Well, I think that sometimes unhappiness and anger and other such things are inevitable," said Anne, "but we must believe that if we didn't have the bad things, then the good things wouldn't seem quite so good."

"Yes, that's true...but I have a hard time believing I could ever be angry at you, Anne," Ariel admitted with a small smile.

"Oh no, I hope we are never angry at each other!" said Anne fervently. "Or that we never ever make one another unhappy. But there are always things outside of each other that might make us feel that way."
