Chapter 1: Introduction
The beach house we decided to rent was nothing short of magical. Through the floor-to-ceiling windows, the waves crashed against the jagged rocks just meters away, leaving a fine mist hovering in the air that twisted in the light from the setting sun. Everything inside the beach house was bathed in a warm, golden glow, as if the sunset itself had chosen to dwell here for the night.
Colson walked me around the little house before he had to go to work. "If you're not comfortable with this, I can stay with you," he said, his hand lingering on mine.
