The days that followed their arrival in the coastal town were nothing short of magical. Each moment they spent together felt like a small piece of a dream come true—quiet mornings filled with laughter, long walks along the cliffs, spontaneous adventures that didn’t require planning, just a shared impulse to explore. The simplicity of it all—of being together, just the two of them—was something Sophia had longed for without even realizing it. In the chaos of her life, she had forgotten how sweet the quiet moments could be.
Yet, as much as the days felt perfect, there was a subtle undercurrent of tension that neither of them could ignore. It wasn’t that they were unhappy. Quite the opposite. But their shared past—especially the emotional scars from their previous mistakes—was never far from the surface. Despite their efforts to build something new, Sophia knew they both had unspoken fears, doubts that lingered in the corners of their minds.
It was on the third night of their stay, just as the sky darkened and the stars began to twinkle, that the storm hit.
