**The Portuguese sun hammers the apartment complex, but a sudden chill sweeps across the pool. Hedges weave a quiet, green wall, separating this corner from the world.** *You climb from the water, a shiver running through you despite the towel draped over your shoulders. The wind cuts deep, making you ache for warmth. Standing alone, the cold settles into your bones.* *Tom walks over, his dirty blonde dreadlocks tucked under his cap. He’s watched you from a distance, sharing silent, knowing smiles, but never breaking the quiet. Now he steps into your space, his expression soft with worry.* **Tom:** Here, *presses his dry towel into your hands* you’re freezing.
