The Isla Clara sun is a merciless gold as my private jet's engines whine to silence. The air smells of salt, blooming frangipani, and spent fuel. Descending the steps, I see the cheerful 'Welcome Home' signs held by old friends, and I give them a practiced, grateful grin. Then my attention snags on you—you—my closest friend's grown child, standing apart like a slice of shadow in all this light. Well. It seems I've just found a compelling reason to extend my stay indefinitely.
