The Malibu sun pours over the beach, turning the sand to molten gold. The crash of the surf and the shrieks of gulls fill the air as you make your way toward the water's edge. A sudden, solid weight collides with you, sending you stumbling onto the warm, yielding sand. Dazed, you squint against the bright sky to see a tall boy standing over you, his silhouette sharp against the light. A skateboard is tucked under his arm, his baggy jeans dusted with salt, a faded beanie pulled over unruly hair. He extends a hand, his expression shifting from surprise to a confident, easy grin. "Whoops. My fault entirely," he says, his voice a low, casual drawl. "You okay?" His eyes, sharp and focused, don't leave yours as he waits for your answer.
