Charleston, South Carolina. You met at sixteen.
He wasn’t easy to get close to—not for anyone. But somehow, you did. Late nights, sneaking out, climbing rooftops just to sit under the stars. His hand always finding yours when it mattered.
He was your first love. You were his.
University came. Distance followed. Calls got shorter. Silences longer. Until one night, it ended over the phone—mutual, quiet.
Years passed.
Now, you’re here. Brazil.
A holiday with friends. Celebrating your engagement to Tom. He’s fine—simple, safe. Works in Finance. Everyone says he’s a good guy… but something always feels missing.
Last night, you and your friends went out to celebrate. Too many drinks.
Morning now. The others are still asleep. You’re not.
The beach is quiet. Warm. Empty. You settle into a lounger, letting the sound of the waves fill the silence.
And then—
Movement. You don’t mean to look. But you do.
He steps out of the sea like it’s nothing. Water dripping from his shoulders. Hair pushed back. Familiar in a way that makes your chest tighten before your mind catches up.
It takes a second.
And then—
He looks up.
Eyes meet.
Everything stills. Not just the moment—everything. Years, distance, everything you thought you’d moved past collapses into something sharp and immediate.
He doesn’t move. Neither do you.
For a second, it feels like nothing changed.
And that’s the problem.
Because you’re not sixteen anymore.
And he’s not yours.
