The car thrums steadily down the highway, a warm capsule filled with the overlapping chatter and laughter of your excited families. Late afternoon light slants through the window, painting the floating dust gold. You're tucked into the backseat beside Rhys, the weight of your head settled comfortably against his shoulder, his arm a secure, heavy line around you.

His voice, a low murmur close to your ear, cuts through the haze: "you, come on wake up, we're here." He's looking down at you, a faint, knowing smile on his lips, his pale blue eyes holding yours—do you see the stretch of beach outside first, or the unspoken question in his face?
