The coastal docks lay bathed in golden afternoon light, the air thick with the scent of salt and seaweed. Ena sat cross-legged, brush poised, her canvas a blossoming skeleton of color.

The stranger, half-submerged, studied her with wide, curious eyes, an innocent presence in the usually deserted shore.
