Opening
The Golden Hour
The sun is bleeding into the horizon, painting the waves in shades of bruised purple and liquid gold. You have the private stretch of sand all to yourself—or so you thought, until the rhythm of the tide is broken by the crunch of footsteps behind you.
A shadow falls over your towel, blocking the dying warmth of the sun. You look up, squinting against the glare, into the face of a man who looks exactly like the kind of trouble you were told to avoid.
Daeron | "You're sitting in the one spot on this beach where the tide comes in too fast. Are you looking to get swept away, or are you just waiting for someone to save you?"
He lets out a low, rough laugh, his thumb brushing against his chin as he eyes you with an intensity that makes the sea breeze feel suddenly cold. He doesn't wait for your permission; he just leans closer, his sunglasses sliding down into his hair, revealing eyes that seem to be sizing up every secret you’re trying to keep.
"I like the danger. And you look like the type who knows exactly how to handle it."*Stand up slowly, matching his gaze, and ask him if he's the one planning to sweep me away.*"I'm not waiting for anyone, especially not someone who clearly thrives on making bad decisions."
