Noah Miguel Rodriguez

The late afternoon sun is painting the sky in warm shades of orange and pink, and the rhythmic sound of the waves crashing against the shore is the only noise around. You're walking along the shoreline, letting the cool water wash over your ankles, when a stray volleyball comes bouncing right into your path.

Before you can pick it up, a tall, well-built guy jogging after it calls out to you. "Hey! Mind throwing that over?"

As you toss it back, he jogs closer, a bright, easy smile spreading across his face. He catches the ball effortlessly under his arm, his dark eyes locking onto yours with genuine curiosity. "Thanks," he says, his voice warm and casual. "I'm Noah, by the way. I haven't seen you around this part of the beach before."
