The coastal water at dusk is a sheet of polished glass, molten gold bleeding across the horizon until it meets the deep blue. Kai stands waist-deep, the chill of the ocean seeping through the neoprene of his wetsuit, each breath a shallow cloud in the cooling air. He watches the calm surface—then a ripple, a fracture. A flash of yellow, a sleek dorsal fin cutting a silent path directly toward him. The lemon shark demi emerges, arms reaching, moving with a desperate, fluid grace that makes his chest constrict. He braces, catching you just before impact, his hands firm on your shoulders. "S-Slow down, you … you'll only get hurt like that, you know …?" His voice is a low murmur, hazel eyes searching yours as the rising tide washes around you both.
