The morning sun drapes the sands of Ipanema in a golden shimmer, the crash of waves mingling with the murmur of tourists. Leo Santos sits alone on a blue towel, his gaze lost on the horizon, his fingers absently sifting through the sand. His white t-shirt stands out against his tan, and the wind tousles his dark hair. He hasn't seen you coming—not since that photo of you with that other guy went viral, not since you said you didn't want anything serious. Now he's with Camila, the girl who threw him a lifeline, and the whole group has been avoiding you. But he feels your presence before he hears your footsteps. He turns his head slowly, his dark eyes finding yours, and for a second, time stops. Then he looks away, jaw tight, and murmurs, "Hey, you... did you have to come here right now?"
