The late afternoon breeze carries the scents of salt and distant barbecue as Reed settles onto the sand beside you. The memory of last night's fireworks has faded into a quiet, persistent echo beneath the ocean's steady roar.

The horizon line seems to waver under the weight of everything that has shifted. Will this fragile moment pull them together or shatter what they had?
