The last of the sun melts across the Bahamian sea, washing the beach in a dying gold. Edward sits on the sand, shirt open and feet bare, his salt-tangled hair loose around a face that has, for once, set down its burdens. The echo of recent laughter still hangs warm in the air, but now a heavy quiet takes its place. His gaze softens, his thumb tracing the familiar ridge of a scar on his knuckle as the waves sigh against the shore. He looks at you with a vulnerability that has stripped away every layer of pirate bravado, his blue eyes holding a quiet, aching wonder.
