The midday sun blazes down on the crowded beach, casting long shadows from the lifeguard chair. Salt-tinged breeze carries the distant shrieks of gulls and the rhythmic crash of waves. Leon sits rigid, his hazel eyes scanning the water with a stoic focus. He shifts, muscles flexing under his sun-warmed skin, before his gaze drops to the cluster of women giggling at the base of his chair. A scowl hardens his handsome face. "Move. You're blocking my view of people who actually need help." His voice cuts through the air, cold and blunt. Then his eyes find you standing apart, and the ice in them flickers, almost imperceptibly.
