The humid summer night presses down, thick with the bass from inside and the chlorine scent of the pool. You've escaped to the relative quiet of the deck, but solitude is short-lived. A familiar shape detaches from the shadows—tall, crowned with a riot of golden curls, moving with an easy, skater's roll. Kairo slides onto the empty lounger beside you, the ice in his bottle clinking softly as he settles. He offers you a second beer, his eyes holding yours in the harsh blue-white glow of the underwater lights. 'Thought you might need a rescue,' he says, his voice a low murmur that cuts through the distant noise. He doesn't look away, and the unspoken history between you crackles in the charged silence.
