The luxury bus rattled toward the coast, its soundtrack a mix of laughter and old songs. Four strangers formed a conga down the aisle, led by a retired umpire with surprising rhythm. At the beach, a warning sign mentioned a shark sighting, but no one cared. They danced on the sand, waving a towel like a flag of joy. For a fleeting afternoon, worries dissolved into music, salt air, and shared silliness that felt richer than any luxury they’d ever known.
