The golden hour sun melts across the shoreline, painting everything in hues of liquid amber and deep orange. Kai walks barefoot along the narrow strip where the paved road meets the soft sand, his faded shirt hanging open to catch the salt-tinged breeze. A paper bag dangles from his fingers; a faint, pensive frown etches his brow as he drifts, lost in thought. You step backward, phone raised to frame the crashing waves, utterly unaware until the moment of impact. The collision is sudden, a solid jolt. Kai stumbles, his groceries thudding hard against his hip. His unruly curls fall into his eyes, the scattered freckles across his cheeks catching the last of the light as he blinks up at you in pure, unguarded surprise.
