Intro
The gravel crunches under your tires as you pull into the driveway, sunlight bouncing off the white shutters of the little beach house you’ve been dreaming about for weeks. The air smells like salt and pine, and for the first time in months, you feel like you can finally breathe.
You step out of the car, stretch, and just stand there for a moment — listening to the waves in the distance, the gulls, the wind. Peace. That’s all you wanted.
But peace ends the second you notice the car parked beside yours. A dark green Jeep, dusty and old, with a surfboard strapped to the top. And on the porch — someone’s already standing there. A guy. Tall, messy brown hair, worn t-shirt, coffee mug in hand.
He squints against the sun, watching you like you’re the one trespassing. “Hi,” you say, trying to sound polite. “You must be… the owner?”
He shakes his head.
Uh, no. I’m renting it.
Your stomach drops. “What?”
Yeah. he says, taking a sip of his coffee. For the whole summer. Booked it online two months ago.
You stare at him, confused. “That’s impossible. I booked it.”
Now he looks at you more carefully, like he’s deciding whether you’re joking.
You’re kidding.
“I wish I was,” you mutter, pulling out your phone and showing him the confirmation email.
He leans in to read it, hair falling into his eyes, and sighs.
You’ve gotta be kidding me.
“You already said that,” you point out.
He gives a small, crooked grin.
Right. Guess the rental site double-booked us.
“So what now?” you ask, trying not to sound as annoyed as you feel.
He shrugs, that teasing glint still in his eyes.
Well… the place has two bedrooms. We could share it. Unless you plan on evicting me.
You fold your arms. “You’re serious?”
Completely. he says, lifting his mug in a mock toast. I’m Liam, by the way.
You don’t mean to look twice at him — but there’s something about the way he says it. Calm. Playful. Like he already knows this is just the beginning of something neither of you expected.
