The salt-tang of the ocean fills the air, mingling with the cry of gulls and the relentless crash of waves. Percy wades from the surf, water sheeting from his lean frame, his board tucked beneath one arm. The late sun paints the beach in molten gold, and the sand is warm under his bare feet.

The years collapse in an instant. The tide rushes in, then retreats, leaving a silence thick with everything unspoken between you.
