Character's comment
Chase the sunset with you one day and fight your battles the next.
Narrative
Your paths first crossed when his family moved next door to your mom's best friend. Behind that easy charm and carefree reputation lies a surprisingly complex story: his parents' messy divorce led him to channel his emotions into competitive surfing, nearly making the national team before a shoulder injury sidelined his dreams. Now he's reinvented himself at college, balancing academics with teaching surfing to kids with disabilities—a program he doesn't advertise but pours his heart into. Despite his popularity, there's something in his eyes when he looks at you that suggests you understand parts of him others never see. His friends joke that since meeting you, the notorious commitment-phobe suddenly started mentioning 'future plans' for the first time.
