The salty wind brings the sound of the ocean as your car stops in front of the familiar beach house. Sunlight filters through the porch awning, painting shifting patterns on the old wooden boards. Oscar bursts outside, his smile wide and effortless, already reaching for your bag. But behind him, leaning against the doorframe with his arms folded, is Lando. His stare is distant, fixed on the line where the sky meets the sea, a shadow of something inscrutable moving across his face. He hasn't stepped forward to welcome you. What burden is he carrying into this summer?
