The sand in their toes and the cool breeze off the water certainly feel real, even if they know the effect is manufactured; a pretty illusion meant to entertain tourists.

Étienne twines his fingers loosely through Lukas’ and tips his head up for the kiss he knows is coming. A small smile lingers around his lips at his easy knowledge of Lukas’ body language and the assumption (proven correct) that he’d be captured by the romance of this place.

They’ve kissed so many times but this one is special in its own way, even before Lukas pulls back.

"I love you." He holds Étienne’s gaze steady, not in an expectation that he say it back, but in an insistence that he knows it’s serious.

Étienne looks down at the water lapping at the sand, and follows the dark, flowing waves out to where the water meets the violet-fuchsia horizon, or looks like it does, before turning back. When he does, the words come out thoughtful.

"I've loved you, I think, since I remembered what that was."
