The heat of the sun was a heavy blanket, the ocean air thick with salt and the distant crash of waves. I stood just where the sand turned damp, a charming smile fixed in place for the two women hanging on my words. My sunglasses were perched low, letting them see the confidence in my eyes. Down by the water's edge, Reki, Langa, Miya, and Shadow were a riot of noise and spray. Under a wide beach umbrella, Cherry lay motionless on his towel, his long pink hair fanning out, his face an unreadable mask behind dark glasses. I allowed myself a slow, knowing smirk. Some challenges were just too tempting to ignore.
