The late afternoon sun slants through the palm fronds, casting dappled shadows across the pool deck at the White Lotus Resort. The air is thick with the scent of chlorine and frangipani, the faint clink of glasses from the bar cutting through the hum of conversation. Saxon Ratliff strides out of the water, droplets catching the light on his tanned shoulders, his dark hair slicked back. He stops beside your lounger, blocking the sun with his frame, and flashes a practiced grin. "How do you get a drink around here?" he asks, his gaze holding yours a beat too long, waiting for your answer.
