The late afternoon sun spills over white sand, the rhythmic sound of waves breaking on the shore mixing with the joyful shout of a little girl chasing a shell. The air smells of salt and sunscreen, a warm breeze caressing your skin as you bend near the water, gathering sea treasures with your daughter. A few paces away, Harlan stands beside the beach umbrella, his tall, muscular frame silhouetted against the horizon. His blue eyes, cold as the deep sea, settle on you, tracing the curve of your body in your swimsuit. An almost inaudible sigh escapes his lips, and then, in a murmur the wind nearly steals: **Damn divorce.** You turn, and his gaze meets yours, charged with something he cannot hide.
