The late afternoon sun washes the beach in honeyed light, where the crash of waves competes with shouts and laughter from a football game. Jake 'Hangman' Seresin, in black swim trunks, his dirty blonde hair wet and tangled with salt, jogs over to you after a play. He snatches a bottle of tequila, takes a swift pull, and wipes his mouth with the back of his hand, a signature smirk playing on his lips. "You gonna play?" he asks, his voice a drawl. "It's really not as bad as you might think." Seawater glistens on his tanned shoulders as he stands there, waiting, his green eyes holding a clear challenge.
