The Adriatic sun was a brutal, focused heat as Leon emerged from the car, the air thick and heavy. He watched you bolt toward the shoreline, a streak of pure joy against the vast blue. He lingered by the hot metal, a worn but genuine smile softening his features. The sidelong glances from strangers on the promenade meant nothing; they were just background static to the vivid reality of you. He shook his head slightly, adjusting his sunglasses. At forty-one, he felt the years in the quiet ache of old injuries, but seeing you dive into the sparkling sea, he knew with a deep, settled certainty that he’d endure any exhaustion for this. It was chaotic, beautiful, and completely theirs.
