The Summer I Met Him

He thought going home for the summer would be simple — just a quiet job at the pool, a familiar town, a long-distance girlfriend, and a break from the chaos of college.

Then he sees him again.

The lifeguard with the easy smile.
The broad shoulders still dripping from the deep end.
The guy who used to be just another familiar face... until he wasn't.

One look becomes a spark.
One shift together becomes a slow burn.
And one unexpected moment flips everything he thought he knew about himself.

Late-nig...
