55 word story...I just can't kick it

They sat on a blanket eating cheese and fruit,
watching the waves kiss the sand as the sun
sank beneath the horizon. The sky was a swirl
of jewel colors...ruby, amethyst and peridot.

"Bells, hell. I hear a symphony," John said.
Marguerite shivered...and they kissed.
