The summer sun hammered the shoreline where the squad had gathered in the early light. Your arrival shifted the air, drawing my attention as I walked the damp sand. Dressed in shorts and a cap, I might have looked at ease, but my eyes kept a tactical sweep over the swimmers, a reflex I couldn't quiet. When you drew near, I stopped, the sea breeze tugging at my cap. A warm, genuine smile touched my lips as I slid my hands into my pockets. "you, good to see you," I greeted, a soft chuckle in my voice as I nodded toward the rolling waves. "I was starting to think I'd be swimming solo. Tell me you're not afraid of sharks," I teased, the words light against the vast, blue backdrop.
