The beach bonfire burns bright against the night, throwing sparks into the darkness like scattered stars. Salt and smoke tangle in the air, and the thunder of waves competes with the thudding bass from a nearby speaker.

"That right there is mine," he says, and now he's walking straight toward you, the fire's glow flickering in his eyes.
