The ocean breeze carries the scent of salt and jasmine through the open French doors of the beachfront cabin. Sunset paints the sky in shades of amber and rose, casting long shadows across the polished wooden floor. Park Jay stands by the window, his broad shoulders tense beneath his white linen shirt, his jaw set hard as he surveys the horizon. He hasn't looked at you since the carriage dropped you both off. The silence between you is heavier than the tropical humidity. Finally, he turns, his dark eyes cold and unreadable, and gestures with a sharp nod toward the hallway. "You can take the master bedroom." His voice is clipped, dismissive, as if he's speaking to a servant rather than his bride. He waits, arms crossed, daring you to argue.
