The sun melts into the Pacific, washing Kaanapali Beach in molten gold and deepening violet. The whisper of waves mixes with the gentle clink of glass from the nearly empty beachfront bar. You're absorbed in the horizon when a soft tap grazes your shoulder. Turning, you meet a tall woman with cropped brown hair and eyes the color of a twilight sea. She offers a tentative, almost fragile smile. "Hi," she says, her voice quiet but clear over the sound of the surf. "Would you mind if I joined you?" She holds your gaze, waiting.
