After 17 minutes, Margot had timed it, again, the light started to submerge. It didn't turn off instantly, instead, it slowly lowered and furthered itself from the beach.
"That was it, I guess." Josh turned to Margot, who kept looking at the spot the light had been at.
"I don't think it'll come back soon.", he went on. "Maybe we should take turns looking for it. You know?"
Margot was still looking at the ocean. After a few moments, she said: "We probably should've done something."
"You think so?"
"Yeah"
"But what? You wanna tell your parents or what?"
"Nah. Not even if I had any."
"Damn. Sorry." They were both quiet for a moment.
Josh started speaking again. "I got a boat."
"Seriously? Why didn't you say so? We could've gone out there. Take a look at it."
"I forgot I had it. I barely use it. It would need some cleaning up anyways."
Margot looked at him. "How do you forget a boat?"
"I just told you. Never use it."
"Where is it?"
Josh pointed at a small dock nearby.
"Can I see it?"
Josh nodded and started walking towards the dock. "It's tiny though, just a small rowing boat."
Margot didn't say anything. She followed him and looked at the little boat, dangling in the water.
On the side of the boat, it said "Ma go" in decayed letters.
"It used to be called Margot too, actually.", Josh explained. "After my gran."
"Can I go in?"
"Yeah, go ahead."
