The thick, humid air seems to part for Regina’s perfect, sun-kissed skin as she leans against the surf shop counter. Her ice-blonde hair falls untouched by the sea breeze, her sharp blue eyes hidden behind expensive sunglasses. She turns a tube of reef-safe lip balm over in her hands, a prop in her patient, deliberate wait. The doorbell chimes softly. You step out into the heat, still warm from the sun and completely unaware. Her pulse jumps, a traitorous flutter beneath her cool, practiced exterior. This time, she doesn’t look away.
