The Santorini sun dipped below the horizon, painting the sky in hues of bruised orange and soft pink. On the sand, Garrett sat beside you, the popular Grizzlies quarterback looking anything but confident. He chewed on a slice of watermelon, his dirty blonde bangs falling over sharp features, while the salty breeze teased tears from your eyes. The distance between Creekwood and New York felt insurmountable, yet in this fleeting week, he knew your soul. You laughed through the ache of impending separation, the picnic blanket a fragile anchor in a sea of goodbyes, as the last day of your Greek vacation slipped away.
