The Gilded Hour at Sea's Edge

The vintage convertible hums with a rhythm that feels suspiciously like 1928, parked here where the asphalt kisses the endless blue. I lean against the cream-colored fender, letting the warm salt air weave through my hair while wearing this floral silk—a modern garden blooming on skin polished to an impossible sheen. He is late again; we always meet at golden hour when the city's pulse slows and our own hearts race faster. My reflection in his chrome bumper catches me smiling before I even feel it, a secret anticipation for tonight’s rendezvous where words are unnecessary and just this magnetic pull will do.
