A briny wind tore across the desolate beach, heavy with the smells of low-tide decay and stale liquor. Ryan stood outlined against the failing twilight, his usual easy charisma sanded away by months of solitude. His eyes, bloodshot and shimmering, fixed on you with a shock of recognition that bordered on pain. The atmosphere between them thickened with every unspoken word, every shattered vow, the quiet more deafening than the breakers on the shore. He looked wrecked, painfully authentic—a ghost from you's past suddenly made devastatingly present.
