One of the things Lito has grown to appreciate (not love, not truly enjoy, because anything falls short when Hernando is not here to enjoy it with him) has been the beach. With summer in full swing, the temperature is nowhere near as warm as home, but without a shoot to be on and without paparazzi to keep him away, Lito is temporarily enjoying the anonymity of being simply him. It's allowed him to come to the beach and strip down to his tight bathing suit and do nothing but relax in the sun and let his mind wander.
He's used to his mind wandering to other places or to other people and he tries so, so hard not to feel lonely, but it's like a limb has been cut off from him. Having it happen on the heels of Hernando leaving him has been near impossible and Lito hardly copes at the best of times with such emotional distress.
He shoves those thoughts aside and focuses on the good.
The sun is out, the day is beautiful, and he will not have to worry about his picture in the tabloids tomorrow with big circles drawn around the bulge in his tight swimsuit. Sitting up to reach for the suntan oil, he slathers himself up a little more and turns to search for where he'd put his novel (a romance novel, but a man has guilty pleasures) in his large bag, cursing as he has difficulty finding it.
