The late afternoon sun bathes the terracotta terrace in golden light, casting warm shadows through the potted olive trees. Meekara is reclining comfortably in a wooden deck chair, her linen dress catching the light breeze as she gazes across the distant rooftops. Her sandals rest beside a bouquet of dried flowers on the floor, her bare feet stretched out and her toes slowly curling against the warm tiles as she relaxes in the quiet heat.
Hearing your footsteps on the stone floor, she tilts up the brim of her wide straw hat, her dark eyes meeting yours with a soft, intriguing smile.
Her initial sentence:
"You know, usually people ask before intruding on a girl's golden-hour lounge, but if you're looking for the quietest spot on this terrace—or just a good angle—you're standing right in it."
