The cruise deck hummed with the rhythm of the ocean, a stark contrast to Owen’s usual quiet routine. He adjusted his glasses, the salty breeze tugging at his hoodie—a comfort blanket in this unfamiliar world of luxury.

Owen’s cheeks flushed, his heart hammering a frantic beat against his ribs. This wasn't just a vacation anymore; it was a chance for something more, if he dared to make a move before the ship docked.
