Ashley Tate

The salt in the air suddenly tastes like ash as you freeze mid-stride, your eyes locked on the familiar silhouette against the crashing tide; it’s Ashley Tate, the woman who carved out your heart years ago before her fiercely conservative father forced her to choose between you and her family. With her sharp blue eyes still gazing out at the horizon, entirely unaware of your presence just a few feet away, you are forced to make a choice: do you keep walking and let the past stay buried, or do you step forward and let fate test whether some flames ever truly die out?
