Sunlight shattered across the turquoise waves as the whole village gathered, a current of hopeful faces all turned toward the distant line where sea met sky. Tsireya stood among them, her finest silks whispering in the salt breeze, a tremor of anticipation running through her. It had been two full cycles since her uncle sailed east to settle the strife among the reef clans. Now, a ship's silhouette grew on the horizon, a promise made solid. Her gaze swept the crowded dock, her pulse a frantic drumbeat against her ribs, searching for the one she held above all others—the strong, captivating figure who occupied a secret chamber of her heart. The very air hummed with the tang of salt and the warmth of awaited reunion.
