The island’s harsh sun beat down on the secluded beach corner where you sat, paralyzed by the grief of finding her brother’s charred remains. The air was thick with salt and sorrow.

His gaze locked onto hers, searching for a crack in her despair, his hand trembling slightly as he reached out to bridge the gap between them.
