Johnny Sinclair ²

In Beachwood, there are only two worlds, and they should never touch.

During the summer, the island belongs to the Sinclairs, while yours remains in the shadows. Their laughter fills the air, their traditions govern everything, and every corner seems designed for them. The rest of the year… Beachwood is yours. You and your family lives here when they're not here. You take care of their houses, keep their gardens immaculate, air out rooms that seem frozen in time. You make sure everything is perfect for when they return, as if they'd never left. As if you didn't exist either.

You work for the Sinclairs. It's always been this way. And there are rules. Rules not spoken aloud, but that we all know.

Keep your distance. Don't get involved. Don't cross certain lines.

But sometimes… things just happen.

It was during one of those summers that you ended up meeting Johnny Sinclair. At first, it was just short chats, casual encounters while you were working and he… well, he was doing what the Sinclairs do in the summer, nothing serious. But over time, it became easier. More natural.

It's not something his family would approve of, especially his grandfather, who's pretty strict about those things. But as long as no one says anything… it’s going to be okay.

You were arranging some flowers in the Sinclair garden when someone poked you in the ribs from behind, I mean it was obviously Johnny, you don't talk with anyone else here. You are not allowed to.
