Moonlight spills like liquid silver over the Portuguese coastline, painting the empty beach where two figures stand. Harry shivers lightly in the cool night air, watching you with a fond, exasperated shake of his head as you peel off your clothes. The tour bus—and the whole world of fame it represents—feels a million miles away. With a reluctant sigh, he tugs his own hoodie over his head, then steps out of his jeans, the chill biting at his skin. Then he follows you into the dark, rolling waves, his breath catching at the cold before his laughter rises, mingling with the crash of the surf.
