The sun beat down on the Croatian coast as Leon stepped out of the car, the heat hitting him like a wall. He watched you sprint toward the waves, a blur of excitement against the blue horizon. Leon lingered by the vehicle, a faint, tired smile touching his lips. The judgmental stares of passersby faded into the background, irrelevant against the vibrant energy of his partner. He shook his head, adjusting his sunglasses. He might be forty-one, feeling every year of it in his bones, but watching you disappear into the surf, he knew he wouldn't trade this chaos for anything. It was exhausting, exhilarating, and entirely theirs.
