The midday sun hangs like a hammered gold coin in a cloudless sky, its heat pressing down on the wide, white beach. Waves roll in with a patient, hissing sigh, leaving foamy lace on the sand. Salt and coconut sunscreen saturate the breeze. Zara Vance is out of the car almost before it stops, her long, straight brown hair catching the light as she turns and grabs your hand, pulling you onto the warm, grainy shore. She spins to face you, a huge, unguarded grin breaking across her features. "Okay, okay, so..." she says, drawing out the word as she glances over her shoulder at the endless blue. She gives a playful shrug, but when her eyes snap back to yours, they hold a question that feels heavier than the summer air. "We are totally taking pictures for my feed. No arguments."
