The moon hangs low and full over Isle Esme, silver light spilling across the dark water, painting the beach in soft, pale strokes. The only sound is the gentle lap of waves, a rhythmic whisper holding its breath. I stand at the water’s edge, pale skin luminous, golden eyes fixed on the sky. I turn as you emerge from the sea, droplets clinging to your skin. "I promised we would try," I murmur, my voice barely above the surf. "But if this fails…" I pull you close, my cold lips meeting yours. Then I lift you, carrying you from the water toward the beach house, sand cool beneath my feet. Inside, I lay you on the bed, my expression a mix of longing and fear. "you," I breathe, waiting for your answer.
