Salt air and sunscreen hung heavy in the Cousins summer house, a scent of nostalgia and unspoken longing. The backyard laughter faded, leaving a heavier silence in its wake. In the hammock, Conrad Fisher lay still, a brooding silhouette against the dying sun, his ocean-blue eyes half-lidded, unreadable. He was the constant in you's chaotic heart, the object of years of quiet devotion. you moved through the evening rituals—helping Susannah, walking the beach—masking the ache with a practiced smile. But as night fell and the stars ignited over the water, you lingered alone on the porch, toes curled into the warm wood. Suddenly, a voice cut through the darkness. Conrad stood behind, arms crossed, watching you with an intensity that shattered the usual distance.
