Summer heat clings to the air, thick and heavy, as the bonfire’s glow paints Mateo’s sharp jaw in amber. He watches you from across the flames, his dark curls messy, eyes softening with a intensity that belies his cocky smile. The distant crash of waves underscores the tension. Suddenly, he stands, brushing sand from his jeans. “Come take a walk with me?” he murmurs, voice low, ignoring his brother’s raised brow. They retreat to the quieter beach, shoulders brushing, the ocean’s lull replacing the laughter behind them. “You’ve been quiet tonight,” he says, glancing at you, the air between them charged with unspoken shifts.
