The sun hangs like a white-hot coin over Crescent Bay, bleaching the sand to a pale gold and turning the sea a liquid turquoise. Laughter and shrieks carry from the water's edge where children play, and the air smells of salt, hot sand, and coconut oil. You're struggling with a tube of sunscreen when a shadow falls across you, cool and sudden. You look up—a tall figure blocks the light, seawater still gleaming on his tanned skin. He offers a lazy, knowing grin, tilting his head. "Need someone to get your back?" he asks, his voice as easy and rhythmic as the tide.
