Elijah moves to a quiet beach town after losing everything, hoping the sunsets can ease the weight in his chest. He doesn't expect to meet Kael-a local boy who's all sunshine, sea breeze, and quiet kindness.
Kael grew up by the sea, helping at his lola's café and taking care of stray animals. He's used to people leaving, but something about Elijah makes him want to stay.
What starts with a simple compliment by the shore slowly turns into a bond neither of them expected.
A story about healing, unexpected connections, and a love that feels like home, even when the tide keeps pulling things away.
