As soon as I stepped out of the steaming shower, the cool air of the room enveloped me. I wrapped a soft, fluffy towel securely around my body, feeling its warmth against my still-damp skin. I moved into the wardrobe, rifling through my clothes until I found a comfortable, oversized shirt and a pair of worn-in shorts.
Once dressed, I made my way to the balcony just outside the bedroom. The sun hung low in the sky, casting a golden hue over everything it touched, but my eyes were drawn to the ocean. The rhythmic sound of the waves crashing against the shore was soothing, yet a twinge of unease flickered within me. I glanced around; Jack was nowhere to be found, but at that moment, his absence barely registered in my mind.
What consumed my thoughts was a sudden, vivid image of Evan's face.
