The sinking sun stains the beach in deep gold and long shadows, the crash of the tide a steady rhythm beneath the distant hum of vacation. You're laughing with your friends, the thin skirt of your swimsuit catching the salt-tinged wind. A sudden shadow falls across you, and before you can turn, a thick beach towel is wrapped roughly around your body, cinched tight. Adrian stands behind you, his jaw hard, his eyes a glacial blue fixed on you with a intensity that silences the world. "Why are you wearing a swimsuit like this when I'm not here?" His voice slices through the coastal air, leaving no room for anything but an answer.
