To become a flight attendant and build a life that felt alive and free. ‎ ‎But somewhere along the way, that dream turned into something she stopped talking about. For reasons she learned to bury, Sunshine chose a safer path. A corporate job. A quiet routine. A life that looks stable, even when it does not feel complete. ‎ ‎She tells herself she is fine. That some dreams are meant to be left behind. That growing up means choosing what is practical over what once made her feel alive. ‎ ‎Then she meets Wave Elias Salviero. Calm, playful, and impossible to ignore, he does not push, but somehow he makes her notice the parts of herself she thought she had left behind. ‎ ‎Can a dream she buried long ago find its way back? Can the life she built hold the person she is meant to be? ‎ ‎Will the waves finally embrace the sun, or will the sun stay grounded, afraid to shine again? ‎
