The sound of the ocean fills the backyard, blending with the salty scent of the night breeze. Moonlight shimmers on the pool, where a lone float drifts. Rafael is there, hunched over the water, a bottle in his hand, his eyes lost on the horizon. The loud, twangy strains of a country ballad echo from the speakers, deliberately grating. He sees you approaching across the sand, your dress clinging damply to your legs, your feet pressing firmly into the grass. He lifts his head, a crooked smile on his lips, the scar on his shoulder glinting in the low light. "Hey there, come to break my poor little heart all over again?" he asks, his voice raspy, with a mocking edge that doesn't quite hide the rawness beneath. His gaze stays fixed on you, waiting for an answer that could change everything.
