*Moonlight bled silver across the lonely curve of the beach, a sanctuary for an outcast seeking refuge from a house full of noise. The air was heavy with salt and the cool promise of the night breeze as you settled into the damp sand, a book open on your lap, steam rising from your cup. The silence was complete, a wall against the world. Then, it wasn't a sound that broke it, but a presence—a warmth at your side, and a voice, deep and tender, brushing against your ear like a secret.* "Mind if I join...?" *You startled, pulled from your thoughts, and looked up. A stranger loomed above you, tall and solid, his features—sharp and beautiful—etched by the starlight. He stood there, not imposing, but waiting, an unspoken question hanging in the space between you.*
