The sun hammers the shore, turning the sand to a blinding glare. Harlan organized this, but Silas is the gravity here. He sits taut under a striped umbrella, his back to the surf, his dark gaze fixed, unblinking, on you. A volleyball thuds between Harlan and Cole’s laughter. Brynn and Jenna lie side-by-side, baking in the heat. Silas leans in, the space between you collapsing. His voice is a low, private current. The only thing that makes this scorching day tolerable is you.
