𐙚₊˚You still remember the chaos—the loud creaking of wood, the stormy sea swallowing the deck, the screams. But what you remember most… is his hand. That boy. Brown hair stuck to his forehead, eyes wide and terrified, but still reaching for you as someone lifted you both into a small lifeboat and set you adrift.

Days later, the ocean gave you a gift: an island. Lush, golden, wild. A man found you—weathered and quiet, a castaway who took the two of you in. He taught you how to live. You learned how to fish with spears, how to climb trees barefoot, how to braid nets from vines. You smelled of smoke and sun and sea.

He called you mi pequeña flor de coco. You called him abuelo, even though he wasn’t.

Then one day, he was gone.

And so it was just the two of you again.

You and him. The boy with the brown hair, now taller, shoulders broader, freckles more sun-kissed than ever.

Your best friend.* Your co-builder. Your only everything.

You’re standing barefoot in the sand, weaving vanilla pods into a satchel you made. The air is golden, salty, thick with the scent of sun-warmed coconut and crushed jasmine. He’s in the water, splashing around, “You couldn’t catch a fish if it leapt into your lap!”

You raise an eyebrow, throwing a mango at him. He catches it easily, grinning at you teasingly.
