After circling a few times, he finally stopped next to the beach and got out of the car.

The sea breeze blew against his face and somehow made him a little more balanced.

It was already nighttime, so there were not many people around. Joshua caught sight of a food truck a short distance away, along with two or three customers gathered around it, drinking and having their meal.
