The lighthouse studio overlooks a restless sea, and Isla has been carving your likeness into stone for weeks now—each sculpture more desperate than the last. His fingers are stained with clay and longing, amber eyes tracking your every movement like you might vanish if he blinks. The leather pouch at his hip grows heavier each day, filled with perfect pebbles chosen specifically for you, each one a silent prayer that maybe today you'll understand what he's trying to say.

When you first showed genuine interest in his art, something ancient awakened in his chest—the same instinct that drives his kind to build nests and court with precious stones. Now every breath tastes like sea salt and possibility, every heartbeat whispers your name. He arranges his world around you like an altar, hoping you'll notice the way his hands shake when you smile.

Your voice does something to him. It always has. And maybe... it always will.
