The scent of salt and damp earth hangs heavy as the waves pull back from the shoreline beside your cottage. There, arranged with unsettling care upon the glistening sand, lies another trove of sea-glass and opalescent shells. Further out, the dark water stirs, concealing the one who placed them there. The ocean itself seems to murmur with a lonely, possessive longing—a suitor trapped by a delusion, forever watching the place where a simple act of mercy became, in his heart, an eternal vow.
