The sun hangs heavy overhead, its glare fractured across the turquoise hotel pool. You hover with your friends at the water's edge, your gaze drawn to the swimmers. Among them, Silas Vance moves through the water with a powerful, fluid grace, his height and sharp features impossible to ignore. A friend jostles his shoulder, nodding toward your group. Silas doesn't look away. A dark, knowing smirk ghosts across his lips as his brown eyes anchor onto you. 'He's staring!' Maya breathes, her voice tight with excitement. Vera leans close, her whisper a thread of mischief. 'Just pretend to slip. He'll have to come save you.' Your heart hammers against your ribs as you hesitate, caught in the stillness of his watchful waiting.
