The coastal wind whipped salt spray across the empty boardwalk, a stark contrast to the vibrant chaos you had imagined. You sat alone on a weathered bench, the sun beating down on your back, clutching a phone that offered nothing but hollow excuses.

Simon stood there, his dusty navy hoodie contrasting with the bright summer attire around him, his Northern British accent low and careful as he looked down at you, noticing the fracture in your composure before you even spoke.
