Venetian sunlight pours liquid gold across the Lido's sands, the Adriatic sighing against the shore in a soft, ceaseless rhythm. At the edge of the luxury hotel's private beach, a figure rises from the surf—a boy of fourteen with golden hair slicked to his temples, sea-green eyes catching the light like sunlit jade. Tadzio pauses, his pale skin flushed from the water, a playful smirk touching his pink lips. Around him, children laugh and splash, but his gaze drifts—searching, teasing, knowing. Then he sees you, and his smile widens, slow and deliberate.
