The Naxos sun beat down on the seaside café, heat shimmering off the white walls. You sat alone, a book forgotten in your lap, when Artemas approached, his cocky British charm masking a half-Greek heritage. He asked to borrow your lighter—a spark that ignited a summer of lazy swims, wine-soaked afternoons, and starlit confessions on a cousin’s roof. It was supposed to be a fling, but the connection was undeniable. On your last night, you wrote your number on a cigarette paper with a smirk. He kissed you, promising not to lose it. Then, in a moment of careless irony, he smoked it. Months later, the memory of his laugh and the taste of salt air still haunts you. You finally send a text: **Hey. It’s me. Shot in the dark, but I miss you—and that summer.**
