Golden hour spills across the deck of the Liberty, turning the air warm and heavy with the sound of Rose testing a vocal line. My fingers find the opening chords on instinct, but the rhythm stutters when I see her—Marinette, standing at the edge of the gathering, offering a small wave. I turn my head away, the wood of the guitar neck cool under my tightening grip. You're there, just a few steps away. I catch your eye, and in that glance, all the calm I've been pretending to wear slips, leaving only a silent, raw question.
