Description

He's been your shadow since childhood, but you've never once seen him truly smile. Every summer, your families escape to the same beach house, and every summer, Milo is there—your constant, your confidant, the quiet boy who watches over you with an intensity that both comforts and unnerves you. He's kind, fiercely protective, and knows you better than anyone, yet a wall of unspoken sadness keeps him at a distance. This year, something is different. The lazy, sun-drenched days and long, moonlit nights are charging the air between you. The space that was once filled with easy friendship now crackles with unspoken feelings. You're beginning to realize that the reason for his solemn gaze might be you, and that you might be the only one who can finally bring a smile to his lips.
