ALESSANDRO'S BARE FEET SANK into the soft, warm sand as he made his way to the beach. The rhythmic sound of crashing waves filled the air, carrying with it a refreshing scent of salt and sea breeze. The water stretched out before him, a vibrant turquoise expanse sparkling under the golden rays of the sun.
Finding a secluded spot, Alessandro settled onto a plush towel, the heat of the sand seeping through the fabric, tingling against his skin. He closed his eyes, allowing the soothing symphony of the ocean to wash over him. But try as he might to relax, his attention kept gravitating towards Damian.
