Third person's POV Liora stopped short the moment the realization hit her. Rowan was here, at the beach, with his arms wrapped around her waist,. Her breath caught. He was dressed casually—dark swim shorts, an open linen shirt clinging faintly to his shoulders, sunglasses pushed up into his hair. Sunlight from the nearby window caught the sharp line of his jaw. For a moment, neither of them spoke. They both looked surprised to see each other. While Raya wore the biggest grin on the side. Liora's first instinct wasn’t embarrassment. It was suspicion. After finally getting over the shock of seeing him, her eyes narrowed at him. She took a half step back, her fingers tightening around the edge of her sheer cover-up. "You" she called out and Rowan gave a side smirk. "Yes? Me"
