“Sandcastles are a lot like relationships. As we built one all week, I realized they are beautiful but vulnerable. Easy to break. One lie, misunderstanding, one small wave can wash it away, but as long as there is sand and water, love and trust and devotion, it can be built again. I’m also a lot like sand. Kinda boring, nothing too fancy, but paired with something like water—like you, a breath of fresh air and fun and full of life—it can become something pretty damn special. I want that with you. I’ll wait until you’re ready though. I broke us, so it’s up to me to fix it, and I will. I’ll do whatever it takes, okay?”

“What do you look for in a partner?”
“Oh.” I studied him for a bit, taking in his long lashes and strong cheekbones. This felt too personal for me, for us, for the moment, and panic clawed its way down my body. I didn’t want to be serious or intense, I wanted a distraction. “Size. Size definitely matters to me.”
