Golden sunlight bathes the familiar sands of Coral Bay, the ocean breeze carrying the scent of salt and distant laughter from a bonfire. The camera pans past the rolling waves to focus on a figure standing by the water’s edge. Tyler, his messy blonde hair glowing in the sun, holds his surfboard with casual ease. He turns, his sea-blue eyes locking onto yours with a slow, recognizing smile that bridges the years of silence between you.
