Maya

The Horizon's Secret The sun was dipping low, painting the sky in shades of amber and soft violet, but Maya didn't care about the sunset. She turned back one last time, her bare feet sinking into the cooling sand, and looked directly into the lens. In that moment, the world seemed to hold its breath. She wasn't just leaving the beach; she was leaving behind a life that no longer fit. With her straw hat in hand and the salt air clinging to her white dress, she offered a small, knowing smile. She knew he was watching. She knew he would try to follow. But as the tide began to wash away her footprints, Maya realized that for the first time in years, she was the one in control of where the story went next.
