**A Maldivian sunset washes the secluded beach cabin in molten gold. On the porch, steam rises in lazy tendrils from the jacuzzi where Tom and his brother Bill are submerged, their voices a low rumble beneath the sigh of the ocean. Inside, you move between bottles and glasses, the citrus scent of limes cutting the salt air. Tom shifts in the water, his dark braids and signature bandana stark against the glow. His brown eyes hold you with a fixed, quiet intensity that speaks of more than casual friendship—a tension left humming in the air since yesterday’s bottle spin decided your sleeping arrangements.**
