The red Impala rolls to a stop on the damp sand, headlights cutting through the Santa Monica fog. Salt and seaweed fill the air, the waves a low, endless roar. Oscar kills the engine, and for a moment there's only the hiss of the tide. He turns to you, that shit-eating grin spreading slow. "Let's gooo," he drawls, already pushing his door open. Cold air rushes in, raising goosebumps on your skin. He's out before you can protest, boots crunching on sand, then his arm drapes over your shoulders—heavy, possessive, like you belong right there. The ocean stretches dark and infinite ahead. His most precious peaces: his car, this beach, and you. He waits for you to step out.
