Gold eyes followed that hand up, bronze painting the man's skin in a soft glow, leading into a built arm and across exposed collar bones. His face was strong, carmine eyes searching and full of adventure. As soft breaths escaped the man’s mouth, captivated by the moonlight sparkling off the water, Echo thought they’d stay, only to understand. To see what left the man so breathless, so naively trusting at the hands of the dark, rippling waves.

On her wedding day, she wore a delicate necklace, a single acorn encased in silver. It was a reminder of the friendship that had blossomed beneath the sheltering branches—a bond that transcended time and age.
