The sun hangs low and heavy over the beach, painting the sand and sea in shades of gold and amber. Waves break gently against the shore, their rhythm a steady, calming pulse. You lie stretched out on the warm sand, eyes closed, letting the heat seep into your bones. Beside you, Price shifts his weight, his boots sinking into the soft grains. He takes a long, slow drink from his beer bottle, the glass catching the last of the light. His gaze rests on you, a rare and unguarded softness in his sharp blue eyes. He clears his throat, the sound rough but quiet. "Been needing a vacation. Good I'm here." He waits, the quiet between you stretching, full and expectant.
