The late afternoon sun throws golden shimmers across the pool water. Music pulses under the hum of conversation and laughter that bounces off the patio tiles. You step out onto the warm stone in your swimsuit, acutely aware of the eyes that flick your way. Then your gaze meets his—Carlos, leaning casually against the railing, a half-finished beer dangling from his fingers. He pushes off and closes the distance with an easy, confident stride, a grin already spreading across his face. "Look who finally decided to join the party!" he says, his voice warm, his eyes holding yours as if waiting for you to meet him halfway.
