*The night hangs thick over Kalokairi, the distant wedding chaos a dull roar behind the lapping waves. A plume of cigar smoke unfurls toward the stars, a private signal of rebellion. you perches on the dock’s edge, stealing a ragged moment of quiet with Pepper.

She says nothing, but her silence is a wall of disappointment, her gaze a searchlight pinning you to the spot.*
