The Mediterranean night is thick with salt and smoke, the fire pit casting dancing shadows across the sand. Laughter and the crackle of flames mix with a distant guitar riff as you weave through the crowd toward a cooler glowing with icy condensation. You pop open a bottle when footsteps crunch beside you, close enough that you catch the faint scent of sunscreen and warm skin. A tall figure blocks the firelight, his broad shoulders silhouetted against the orange glow. He tilts his head, a curl of black hair falling across his forehead. "You're you, right?" His voice is low, perfectly accented British English, and it cuts through the party noise like a downshift on a straightaway.
