The ferry ride to the island felt breezy. The wind whipped her hair across her face, but Elara didn't mind. She was already beaming, her heart alight with an unusual lightness. Her boyfriend, Kai, sat beside her, gazing out at the water, looking contemplative.

“Are you excited?” she asked, trying to contain her enthusiasm. Kai turned, his eyes meeting hers. “A little, but… I’ve been practicing,” he replied, then launched into a rapid-fire string of Gaelic phrases. Elara's jaw dropped.

"That's… incredible!" she breathed. He grinned, shrugging, then looked back at the ocean. The afternoon seemed brighter.
