Solana Bay — Shoreline

The tide had gone out just enough to reveal a thin, hard-packed stretch of beach below the villa.

Angel carried Aurora in a soft sling across her chest, her sandals in one hand as her toes sank into the warm sand. The baby was wide-eyed now—alert, curious, and content as the sea breeze tousled her wispy hair.

Matthew followed with a large umbrella tucked under one arm and a beach blanket slung over the other. His hat was a bit too big for his head, but it had been a gift from Aurora's godmother, and he wore it like a badge of honor.

"Okay," he said, peering at the sand. "No crowds. No beach dogs. No hidden coral. I think we've found the perfect spot."

Angel smiled, setting down the folded mat and watching as Matthew planted the umbrella and shook out the blanket with exaggerated flair.

"You're very proud of this, aren't you?"
