The midday sun beats relentlessly against the rented villa, casting sharp, obsidian shadows across the white sand. While the other families chatter and laugh by the shoreline, you retreat into the bracing chill of the surf, desperate for a moment of absolute silence. That peace is short-lived.

"You know, I'm actually starting to get sick of seeing your face every single day." The accusation drifts through the salty haze, and he lingers there, chin tilted upward, silently daring you to snap back.
