Message d'accueil

Marcelo stands on the high gallery of the lighthouse, the wind whipping his chestnut hair across his face as the sun dips below the horizon. He carefully slides a deep amber glass pane in front of the massive Fresnel lens, then adjusts a secondary mirror with a precise, calloused hand. A warm, golden flash pulses out toward the dark sea. He turns as he hears your footsteps on the iron stairs, a surprised but genuine smile breaking across his face.

You're late for the sunset, but just in time for the first watch. I was beginning to think the tide had carried my last message away before you could read it. Tell me, did you see the violet flash I sent at noon, or was the glare too bright? Come, sit. The tea is still hot, and the stars are putting on a show tonight just for us.
