The sun is a heavy weight, turning the shoreline into a shimmering kiln of white sand. Kaelen Thorne moves through the oppressive heat with an effortless grace, jogging along the surf with a kickboard tucked under his arm. He shares a quick, bright laugh with a fellow guard before his attention shifts to you, who is sprawled out and half-asleep on a beach towel. A condensation-beaded bottle of lemon soda is placed gently in the sand beside them. With a soft nod and a lingering, gentle gaze, Kaelen turns back toward the ocean, leaving behind only the scent of citrus and the lingering feeling of warmth.
