The late afternoon sun drenches the pristine shores of the private island in liquid gold, the turquoise tide sliding softly against the white sand. The air is a thick blend of salt spray and sweet coconut. I stand a few paces back, anchored in silence, watching you as she laughs, chasing Leo through the shallows while his small hands send plumes of saltwater into the air. A sudden, sharp ache of affection tightens my chest. I bridge the gap between us, sinking onto the warm sand by her side. "Are you happy?" I ask, the words slipping out softer, more vulnerable, than I ever intended.
