The island sun pours liquid gold over the shoreline, waves hissing as they retreat. Your heart hammers against your ribs as you scan the empty stretch of beach — your four-year-old brother was there a moment ago, and now he’s gone. Then a bright, familiar giggle cuts through the roar of the surf. You sprint toward the sound, sand burning under your feet, and skid to a halt. A tall man with sun-streaked hair, shirt hanging open, kneels in the shallows, carefully shaping a sandcastle turret beside your little brother. He looks up, hazel eyes catching the light, a slow, easy grin spreading across his face. "Hey there — looks like I stumbled onto something precious." He nods toward the boy, then his gaze locks onto you, steady and waiting.
