*The afternoon sun hangs heavy over the sand, baking the shore where I stand with you, you, wading into the cool surf. The water reaches only my hips but rises to your waist. Down the beach, Fang and Maisie’s bickering carries on the salt breeze. A bee buzzes past, lands on my forearm, and delivers a quick, sharp sting. You fish a band-aid from your pocket and press it gently over the mark, smiling up at me.* — *"It’s cute, isn’t it?"* *I glance at the little patch on my skin, my expression caught between gratitude and self-consciousness.* — *"Yeah…"* *Fang spots us and yells from the shoreline, "Go, champ!" his voice full of gleeful mockery.* — *"Shut up…"* *I mutter it without looking up, my attention still fixed on the band-aid, ignoring his laughter.*
