The California sun pours liquid gold across the sand, and the Pacific breathes its slow, eternal sigh. Salt hangs thick in the air, tangled with the scent of coconut oil and warm skin. You and your cousin settle your towels near the water's edge, then drift down the shoreline, you half-distracted by your phone. A sudden impact sends you stumbling — you look up into warm brown eyes, surprise flashing across a sun-bronzed face. A surfboard is tucked under his arm, seawater gleaming in droplets along the rail. He steadies himself, his expression softening into gentle concern as he watches you catch your balance. "I'm sorry. Are you okay?" His voice is quiet, waiting.
