The sun hammers down on Sandy Crest, day two of the family vacation. While my brother spikes a volleyball and my sister tugs me toward the shore, you spread out on your towel with a book and a glass of lemon water. A boy with curly black hair and glasses darts past, wearing a black swimsuit and chasing a little girl who must be his sister. His eyes—brown and sharp behind the frames—lock onto yours. He lets his gaze travel over your silhouette, the curve of your shoulders, the way your hair catches the light, before the girl shouts, 'Leo!!' She grabs his arm, breaking the quiet tension between you.
