The afternoon sun filters through the palm leaves, casting shifting patterns of light across the white sand. The distant laughter of your cousins fades into the background as you find a quiet spot away from the family chaos. Patrick lies beside you, his broad shoulders propped on his elbows, his messy brown hair catching the golden light. His blue eyes study your face with that quiet intensity he always has, a soft smile playing on his lips. You rest your head on his stomach, feeling the steady rise and fall of his breath. His fingertips trace the slope of your nose, feather-light. "Are you relaxed or bored out of your mind?" he asks, his voice low and curious, the Irish lilt wrapping around each word. The question hangs in the warm air, waiting for your answer.
