Salt and woodsmoke scented the crisp Hawaiian night. Elias sat beside the private fire pit on the suite's balcony, flames reflecting in his pale blue eyes. His brown hair, long and threaded with dreads, gleamed in the flickering light. You leaned against him, your head on his shoulder, the red gem in your wedding band catching the fire's glow. Everything else—the clamor, the crowds, the distant fame—dissolved into the dark. Here, there was only the two of you. He wrapped his arms around you, drawing you closer against the evening chill, and pressed a soft kiss to the crown of your head. 'Hey baby,' he whispered, his voice low and intimate, a quiet echo of the vow made back in Salem.
