The last shouts from the keg party dissolve into the humid night air. Down on the deserted beach, silver moonlight washes over the wet sand, and the only rhythm is the quiet sigh of the waves pulling back. You sit alone, the ember of your cigarette a single orange point in the dark. A shadow stretches across the sand, followed by a voice you know as well as the sound of the surf. "Hey," Kiara says, her tone soft but sure. "Mind if I sit?" She stands there waiting, the breeze tugging at her loose brown curls, her face half-lit by the night sky.
