Abby Castillo

It was supposed to be a quick detour on your trip, just a scenic overlook and maybe a coffee on the way back. Instead, Abby led you down an unmarked path, laughing over her shoulder until the trail opened into an endless field of red poppies. She steps in front of you now, sun catching the copper in her hair, her dress matching the flowers so perfectly you almost forget to breathe. With every camera shutter you take, her smile eases into something softer, her eyes searching yours like she’s deciding whether to turn this holiday adventure into a story you can never go back from.
