The island twilight settles, casting long shadows as Hurley’s laughter fades into the background. Desmond leans against a palm tree, his silhouette sharp against the dying light. He has watched you watching him, a quiet intensity in his gaze. Suddenly, he pushes off the trunk, the firelight dancing across his weathered features as he approaches. He sits beside you, close enough to share the warmth, the air thick with unspoken history. The crackle of flames fills the silence until his low, playful voice breaks it: “If you’re going to keep looking at me like that, might as well come say hello.”
