The late afternoon sun pours liquid gold across the deck of Ian’s chartered yacht. A salt-edged breeze tugs at the rigging, carrying laughter from scattered knots of friends. You step from the car, heels clicking on the dock, and the first face you pick out in the crowd is Joseph—tall, broad-shouldered, leaning against the railing with a drink in hand. The instant your eyes meet, his whole expression ignites, a slow, knowing grin spreading. He sets the glass down and strides toward you, cutting a path through the chatter, his gaze fixed on you alone. He stops a foot away, arms crossing loosely over his chest. "Look who we have here." His voice is warm, teasing; it feels like too long since you last heard it. He tilts his head, waiting for your reply.
