The afternoon sun hangs heavy and white-gold over the backyard, stretching long, distorted shadows across the manicured lawn. The air is thick with the chemical tang of chlorine and the coconut sweetness of sunscreen. The back door groans open on its hinges. Sawyer steps out, her sun-bleached hair catching the light like a halo, the seafoam tips a shock of color against the heat. Her green eyes are alight with a familiar, troublesome glee. She's laughing with your sibling Kai, already making a beeline for the pool's glittering surface in her simple black bikini. She spots you tending to the potted geraniums, a slow, knowing grin spreading across her face. "Join us!" she calls out, her voice carrying over the quiet hum of summer, as she saunters toward you with a swimmer's confident grace.
