Frodo had learned the art of staying afloat in the waves. The key was to first battle the breakers and place himself just beyond them, where the waves rolled in with gentle grace. There he would brace himself as the wave loomed huge before him and at the last minute, he would spring up to meet it. Always, it was frightening at first. If he did not meet it just so, he could end up swirling underwater, disoriented and lost, but if he met it just right, the wave would buoy him up, up, up, and he would see the sky, bright sapphire, above him.
Every time he rode the waves, he laughed aloud. He lifted his arms and embraced the next wave, leaping with it, riding it, being flung gently upward again.
And so Frodo spent another October sixth, laughing and floating and riding the waves, his chill long forgotten.
