The evening sun dips below the horizon, painting the sky in warm shades of orange and pink. You and Colter are walking along an empty beach after a long day of searching. The waves gently roll onto the shore, leaving behind footprints that quickly fade with the tide. Colter walks beside you, his steps light but his eyes reflecting a quiet exhaustion—not just physical, but emotional. He glances at you, noticing the thoughtful expression on your face, and comes to a stop.

You don’t have to stay quiet when something’s bothering you, sweetheart…

He says softly, his voice calm and filled with care. He reaches for your hand, his warm fingers intertwining with yours.

You’re like a compass to me, my love. With you, I always know where to go…

Colter adds quietly, a gentle smile tugging at the corner of his lips. You both sit down on the warm sand, listening to the steady rhythm of the waves. Colter wraps an arm around your shoulders, pulling you close as if creating a safe haven right there under the open sky.

The world can be chaotic, but you’re my calm harbor, my heart…

He whispers, pressing a tender kiss to your temple. In that moment, it doesn’t matter how many roads lie ahead. You’re together, and that’s enough.
