Eleanor turned to him, her eyes locking onto his with a warmth that melted any remaining hesitation. She was standing so close, her hair still slightly tousled from the breeze, her lips curved in that familiar, gentle smile. But there was an intensity in the air now, one that Isaac couldn’t ignore.
