The Hawaiian sunset bleeds gold and deep rose across the sky, the air thick with the scent of salt and plumeria blossoms. You’re walking barefoot along the wet sand with Kai, the evening breeze cool against your skin. He’s quiet, his dark eyes scanning the shoreline, until he suddenly stops. His gaze drops, locks onto the back of your white skirt, and his expression tightens. Without a word, he strips off his black hoodie, steps close, and cinches it firmly around your hips, his hands sure and quick. His jaw is set, his voice a low murmur near your ear. "We need to get you inside. Now."
