He had never prepared any terrible surprises, so Aqua basked in the excitement, anticipating what would happen when evening came. The sun started to set quicker than Aqua could complete her giant sandcastle project. Honestly, building a house out of sand for two people to live in was rather impossible. Jericho and Aqua spent the whole afternoon piling sand. They managed to get a rather sizeable pile of sand, but after a certain height, the sand simply fell sideways and stopped growing taller. Not to mention, the waves that came in during the high tide washed everything away. Aqua had to sadly bid the sand mound goodbye as she returned to the hotel room to wash seaweed from her hair to get ch

“C’mon, stop being a baby. Let’s build a sandcastle." Together, they begin shaping a castle from the sand, their small hands forming rooms and walls. The girl hums softly as she works. “One room for me, one for you… and one for my mate.” They both giggle. It’s innocent. Sweet. Peaceful. Until—crunch. A heavy boot slams down, crushing their creation. The girl gasps and looks up, trying to see who it is—but the man’s face is lost in the sunlight, tall and shrouded in shadow. Her small hands cling to the broken sandcastle.

The fact that it too was going away broke my heart. Nothing gold can stay... I picked up my feet and started to run again, needing to find a release from the pain.

The ocean stretched out before them, endless and inviting, its rhythmic waves lapping gently at the sand. As soon as they arrived, Lillian and Samuel raced toward the water, their laughter mingling with the sound of the surf. Claire spread out a blanket on the sand, setting down their picnic basket and watching as Ethan joined the children, helping them start on their ambitious sandcastle project. The morning passed in a blur of sun and laughter. Lillian meticulously collected seashells, arranging them in a careful line along the castle’s moat, while Samuel dug furiously, determined to make the structure as grand as possible. Ethan knelt beside them, guiding their efforts and occasionally sn

Now I need to pass the most complicated way to get there. The kingdom of sandcastle is named after its sand reputation. The kingdom was built strongly on the sand, and even though it had a reputation for being strong, its biggest natural disaster was “quicksand”. The people of the kingdom had suffered for so long before they were finally able to make the land habitable. Rumors have it that the forerunners of the kingdom had to make a sacrifice to the sand god to appease him to stop taking the lives of its people.

Everything about the day was ordinary, beautifully, deceptively ordinary. Cassian and Celeste squealed as the tide tickled their ankles, running up the shore with buckets in hand. They were halfway through building a lopsided sandcastle kingdom, Celeste’s fortress had seashell guards, while Cassian had engineered a working moat with filtered water channels. Arla-Rosa watched them from her spot beneath a pale linen parasol, legs folded, a book resting unread in her lap.

Grin. He flips me off. Laughs. “Jerk,” he says. Lila drags Zephyr. “Sandcastles!” she yells. Hand in hand. Beach. Shovels. Buckets. Pink. Blue. They build. Empire. Towers high. Moats deep. Zephyr kneels. Sand on knees. Lila pours water. “Look!” she says. “Castle city!” Zephyr adds shells. “Walls,” he says. I watch from the deck. Coffee in hand. Heart full. Warm. Future.

Fair. Immediately. Reasonable. Everyone looked. God. The sandcastle was enormous. Fair. Like a real castle. Reasonable. Towers. God. Bridges. Fair. Flags. Reasonable honestly. Everything. God. Then Lily pulled Adrian toward it. Fair. Just for a closer look. Reasonable. Just for a minute. God. One tiny minute. Fair. One harmless minute. Reasonable honestly. Then they stopped. God.

"You know I won't take no for an answer because you already promised me you would join me in making a sand castle." "Can't I take back what I said?" I teased. "No, you can't," he said, giving me a warning look. I burst out laughing. I stood up abruptly. "Race me," I said. Immediately, I ran towards the beach, and he followed behind me. When we got to a place that was less crowded with people and a place where the waves didn't reach, we knelt on the sand and began to create our sand castle. Every castle I created kept collapsing after getting to a particular level. But his never collapsed. "How do you do that?" I asked, my tone laced with a little bit of envy.

Although he looks laid-back, the sight of them flocking around him like flies irritates me. I try to distract myself from thinking about Josh and focus on building my sandcastle. As I start, I notice a shadow hovering over me. Snapping my head up, I see a guy drop to his knees beside me and begin building a sandcastle.
