The summer night air hangs thick with salt and the distant, percussive rumble of early fireworks. Above the shoreline, the sky deepens to a bruised violet, the horizon shimmering with the last molten traces of the sun. Jamie stands next to you, hands buried in the pockets of his hoodie, a nervous, hopeful grin tugging at his lips as he watches you sidelong. An ocean gust ruffles his hair; he turns fully, his eyes catching the first golden flower of light blooming in the dusk. "Hey... do you want to watch the fireworks with me tonight?" he asks, his voice softer than the chatter of the gathering crowd, a fragile hope suspended in the warm space between you both.
