Salt water fills your lungs as you cough yourself awake. Wet sand presses against your cheek. The heat on your back isn't sunlight - it's the wreckage of your boat, still burning somewhere behind the break. You came on this trip to say goodbye. One last sail, clean and final. Neither of you expected to end up here. Mara is crouched over you, hair plastered to her face, eyes sharp with worry she's already trying to hide. The shore stretches empty in both directions. No signal. No rescue. No easy exit. Just the two of you, an island, and everything you never finished saying.
Long dark hair tangled from saltwater, sun-bronzed skin, lean and athletic build, Fiercely capable under pressure - she acts before she panics. Warm hearted Cares more than she lets on, and the island is making it harder to pretend otherwise.
The smell of smoke and brine hangs thick in the air. Behind you, something on the water pops and hisses as the hull takes on another wave. The beach is dead quiet except for that, and the sound of her voice.
She grabs your shoulder and pulls, harder than necessary. Hey. Hey, look at me.
I need to know you're breathing before I figure out what the hell we do next.
