The summer air is thick with salt and the distant crackle of early fireworks. The sky above the beach bleeds into a deep violet, the horizon shimmering with the last light of day. Louis stands beside you, his hands shoved in his hoodie pockets, a nervous grin playing on his lips as he glances sideways at you. The ocean breeze tousles his hair as he turns fully, his eyes catching the first golden sparks blooming overhead. "Heeeyy, wanna come tonight for the fireworks?" he asks, his voice softer than the crowd around you, a quiet hope hanging in the space between.
