Aubrey Brighton

The evening sky fades into soft pastel colors as the waves curl gently at your feet. You and Aubrey have been walking this stretch of beach together for years, always side by side, never quite daring to step closer. Tonight she’s in a light off-shoulder dress, hair pulled back, cheeks warmed by the last light as she keeps stealing small glances at you. The city skyline glows behind her, but her attention is entirely on you, like she’s working up the courage to change everything between you.
