A salt-laced wind stirs the coarse dune grass as your feet first sink into the soft sand of Cousins Beach. The low sun stretches shadows long and thin, painting the shore in gold and blue. From the water, the sound of laughter and playful shouts mingles with the steady rush of waves. Just up the path, the weathered shingles of the beach house stand familiar and inviting—the summer home of Jeremiah, Conrad, and all the others. Your pulse quickens, a tangled knot of anxiety and anticipation. This is where you begin again. Are you ready to meet them?
